Rodd Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I found this data on my hard drive-I never processed more than the Ha due to only having 4 OIII subs. I decided to give it another try, hoping that my processing had improved to the point where I could get something passable out of it. I lost some FOV due to poor framing, and the OIII subs could only be calibrated with a master dark--the flats were lost with my external hard drive. TOA 130 with .7x reducer and STT 8300 with 3nm Astrodon filters Ha: 9 30 min OIII: 4 30 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
souls33k3r Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Slightly noisy but mate will take nothing away from your processing skills. Absolutely stunning mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upahill Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Jaw droppingly brilliant imo. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaned it up a bit--not perfect. I have trouble with bicolor anyway--and this one has only 4 subs of OIII. So Tough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've cleaned it all I swear if you hadn't mentioned 4 subs, no one would've noticed it what did you use for noise reduction and sharpening? The only thing I did to the first image I posted was mask off the nebula and use a pixel math formula that removes “mottling” in background. It works pretty well. The I dropped the black point just a bit because the pixel math formula tends to lighten the background (kind of normalizes it so it can get a bit brighter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a bit better-more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodd Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 I was able to upsample so the image is closer to its Bin1 size (I had software binned 2x2 due to the noise)-so full resolution will be much larger. This is the final image upsampled, slight boost in red and sharpened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
