Elephants Trunk again

[mackiedlm]

I was not really happy with my first process if this - very red and very noisy. So I went back and reprocessed it a different way - this time extracting Ha/Oiii in APP then adjusting those mono images then building RGB with synth green in PS with Carbonis actions.

Its still quite noisy but the camera was running at +22C and moon at 85% was troubling even with the L-enhance.

5 hours of 300s exposures at ISO1600 on my SW 80ED and NEQ6 and Ha Mod EOS700d, L-enhance filter

 

 

This was the first version for comparison - the carboni's action flipped the new version!!

Great reprocess.  It is often worth doing this as your skills develop.
