First LRGB ever!

[Ambermile]

Well, for me at least! I had the Artemis in the Vixen - big FOV so subframed the capture (ie drew a box around the target on the screen and only saved that bit each time) and also binned 2x2. So that made this image alittle under 1/3 the size of the CCD.

Anyway, 9 x 30 second subframes for each of L, R, G and B. Ecah colour stacked in Registax then combined as one pic in Maxim. I am sort of happy with it I thinki! Pic one is RGB and pic 2 has the luminance added (the theory being that the luminance layer gives structure to the colours). More decisions, which one's favourite?

PS - also was test-driving the new autofocus last night. That was fun too but it's another story

A no brainer that one Arthur - the LRGB is better! Reckon you have a bit of a greeny yellow colour cast though which you can easily get rid of. Great work though. I really like colour images of DSOs.

I still haven't sorted out how to effectively do the combine in maxim - keeps leaving the top image fully opaque, have had to rely on photoshop.

they look good for the first try Arthur , i still cant convince myself about LRGB , in some cases i will admit the image looks good in colour . but for me the time and effort to put in , maybe one day , but at the moment i still feel there is alot more i can learn in bringing out a dynamic b/w image , perhaps when i reach the stage and say , well ole warner ole son this is the best you will ever do , go try LRGB , but for now , good ole B/w , hehehe its a bit like spikes to u i guess Arthur hehehe .

good images though

I prefer the top one just because the sky is blacker. Other than that, very good images. In fact very very good.

Keep them coming, it's the only way I'm getting to see these things again because of the cloud things.

The LRGB on Arthur for me, just get the colour cast out, you have some good detail in the arms and core.

Ah - you noticed. Well, since the last PC crash I'm running on the laptop and cannot find my PSP7 cd so am having to use PhotoImpact - not the best bit of software for this hobby

How's this? Had a complete reprocess following a chat with an old hand... top one is original LRGB, bottom the rework.

Arthur

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Yeah, that's it. Very good result.
