Clear skies in Yorkshire and my first image of 2023 Soul Nebula

[teoria_del_big_bang]

Managed from around 7pm till fog engulfed the area about 2am on Monday night.

Nebula
SII 600S X 10
Ha 300S  X 12
OIII 600S X 11

Stars
Red 30 sec X 12
Grn 30 sec X 12
Blu 30 sec X 12

Not spent too long on processing this so colours may be a bit too much, just wanted to see what the data was like, it probably doesn't need it but  I imaged the same target last night so will concentrate on the image with all the data.

As usual any suggestions how to improve my final image would be helpful 🙂

Looks good. If you want more of the subdued green less palette you can do a green noise removal in Siril and you get the standard Hubble yellow/orange/blue look.

Yes will definitely change the colours slightly

Like the image, and also like the green in it rather than the typical hubble look. Maybe because its less common?

Anyway, great image.

Very nice Steve - good detail and bold colours.  If you don't want to get rid of all the green you can try (1) a reduced SCNR application in PI or (2) a green colour mask, then shift the colour around with Curves.

If you're using the RC tools ( in PI - for stars, StarX in this case) unscreening them and screening them back in gives you a lot of control.  The tool tip on StarX for unscreening gives you the description and - I think - the PixelMath formula for putting them back.

Many thanks, I will certainly have a go 🙂
