Sheila Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Well i have processed this several times and each time i get fed up. I look at it on a different computer, calibrated the same and it looks different on each So i have no idea what it will look like to all of you, but it is very difficult to get anything decent i dont know why. Bout 15 hours evenly between Ha, Sii and Oiii. Done with the Tak 106 extended. 10 min subs unguided ALso I do not like Alnitak anymore its tooooooo bright think I prefer the second attempt further down the page but still not quite there so will post that attempt up here for comparison Edited February 4, 2016 by Sheila Werisit, +Graham and Tweedledee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thats certainly different Sheila. I love the red bands coming off Alnitak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 yeah tried to get rid of those but no joy will go back to it another night, was ready to throw computer out the window so gave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 No leave them in they are brilliant. I know what you mean with the difference between computers, why cannot they all have the same display characteristics it would make life a lot simpler.

Daz Type-R Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 You might not be happy with it but I don't believe I have ever seen the pair of them up close like that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Have you tried a different palette? Not sure I like that one, it's a bit too muddy green for me. I split the channels out and the red looks a bit blown out I think (some dark haloes around some of the stars on the right). I've never used Maxim, does it have tools to erode structures, shrink stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 No idea on Maxim, just stack it in there, not really explored it much, will have a look at changing the colours and see if it improves. As i said got fed up so left it and will go back when i am less annoyed with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 yup lots but Alnitak is a pain on some of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) if all else fails with Alnitak in ps lasso it and then attack with minium filter of 1 or 2 and do it a couple of times its a bit crude but might work or try star bloat removal in annies or astronomy tools Edited February 3, 2016 by Ibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 looks a lot cleaner Sheila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 It's not mapped Hubble but CFHT with Sii for the nitrogen seems to give a better colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I do like the 3rd one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Alnitak is a PITA but here are one or two other stars in there not playing ball. Have you got a rogue couple of subs in the stack? having said that the last process is a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Very interesting following this Sheila, not being a photographer, I like em all ?, They all look good to me, but I sense your frustration. Thanks for sharing, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
