Heart - Hubble palette attempt

[knobby]

Slowly dabbling with narrow band and the processing that is becoming more like art than science 🙂

I really am enjoying it though, Imaged this in my red zone back garden last night, it's 10 x  300 secs each of Ha Oiii and Sii ( no darks as they looked weird )

Thanks for looking / feedback.

DSS - Photoshop levels / curves - gradient xterminator - photoshop channel combine as per @swag72 tutorial - photoshop levels to balance colours to my taste - slight noise and star size reduction  (Noels tools)

Now that's very nice indeed Knobby, I want to shoot this but I need to change scopes over, I feel the Borg at 330mm and the 183mc will get it all in.

That's come out very well.

A few tips.

If you want to get rid of the magenta around the stars, you can use filter noise/reduce noise and move the "reduce colour noise" slider right over to the right.

If you want to change the colours of the image, play with the sliders in image adjust/selective colour.  I would suggest your Ha is too green at the moment.

Thanks Alan, that was with a 335 focal length / ZWO 1600 mm so might be tight with the 183.

Thanks Carole, I'll have a dabble later

So, taking on board Caroles suggestion I've dropped the star colour a tad and backed off the green slightly (Looks great on my phone but marginally only different on here)

 

[carastro]

The new version looks better, but sorry, hope you don't mind, I had a play with the selective colour sliders, couldn't resist.

Ooh, I'm liking that too 😄

What did you do ?

[carastro]

I think it was magenta and yellow etc in the green sliders
As l say you need to play around with the sliders and see what works.

Thanks to @carastro for giving me something to aim for and @Laurin Dave for the guidance, even though I liked my first effort, I kind of knew it looked too over the top ...

I'm happy with this now though.
