don4l Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I do like the way the colours have come out. Very nice indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloz1664 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Very nice image Dan. Try using Pixinsight's SCNR to convert the green into a nice blue. I've also been imaging NGC6992 and have collected over 10hrs of rgb data. I combined the data and was shocked at the amount of stars in the image. The nebulosity was difficult to see. I'll need to reduce the amount of stars to bring out the main subject Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to reduce the amount of stars to bring out the main subject Steve Hi Steve, i used SNR down to 70% to reduce the green but tbh the blue imo is quite a turquoise look so left it there, but yes maybe down to 60 wouldn't hurt. Starnet ++ is fantastic for stars and can use as a mask as well, so mask the stars and pop the colour in the nebula with messing with star colour. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hi Steve, i didnt personally in this image, i used it as a mask to get my colouring right on the nebula and the stars them selves. i really like the stars around this target so they dont bother me at all tbh. Side note, i forgot to add i used a L-enhance with this for the first time and was shocked at how well it picked up the surrounding nebulosity, thats why i kept a lot of it in the image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve what gain did you use Steve? also find a slight curve transformation will help lower the stars a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloz1664 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Hi Dan, I use gain 11 & offset 132, which is the optimum for my ccd camera. I can reduce the stars using various techniques. I was just pointing out that the more imaging time you spend on certain subjects tends to increase the star population. Thanks anyway Steve Edited July 9, 2020 by sloz1664 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyway Steve Gotcha Steve I would create a star mask with star net++ on a 3 hour integration and then apply that to the final image. clear skies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
