Hubble Palette - 1st Attempt

[Daf1983]

Having recently acquired a new laptop, I thought I'd download Pixinsight to see what all the fuss was about. 

Have always wanted to make a Hubble style images, and have always struggled to get satisfactory results in Photoshop. So, this is my first attempt using Pixinsight. 

Most of the processing was actually done months ago in PS, but I split the channels and recombined in Pixelmath using PI, to give a Hubble Palette effect. The original data was captured with an L-enhance filter and ZWO 533 MC pro camera.

Yes, lovely image.

Lovely detail in the image. Incase you are after a cheaper alternative, SIRIL is a free tool that allows you to do the same

That’s a great image and ignore the attempts to drag you away from PI 😀 as it looks like you have a flair for the tool so look forward to seeing morre

Thanks everyone for their kind comments. Regarding PI, I was a bit apprehensive about it to begin with, because of all the comments about it being very unintuitive etc. But I've actually found it easier to pick up than Photoshop, even though the names of some of the processes are a bit ridiculous. But I'm still in the trial period at the minute, and I'm still undecided whether I'm going to buy a licence just yet(mainly because I'm skint😭)

I wasnt trying to drag him away from PI 🙂 just suggesting alternatives if budget is a constraint. PI is a great tool and has a lot more to offer than Siril.
