Popular Post philjay Posted May 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Finally managed to get some colour to the luminance channel I took last month. Getting the colour took 3 attempts due to various things, they have rain and clouds in Aus you know ? Scope TAK FSQ106 at SSO Luminance 15 minutes bin 1 Red, green and Blue all 15 minutes Bin 2 This is the first ever LRGB Ive done using binning and processing in Maxim wasnt inuitive for me so be gentle. Centre Detail Aligned and stacked in Maxim. Processed in PS. It was nice to actually do some imaging again, even if it is using remote scopes. Due to health restrictions forcing early nights on me at the moment though this is the only way I can do any, and I would sooner do this than none at all.

philjay Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks folks. I may add some Ha at some time but not just yet. Winter is coming in Aus and there are some other interesting things I want to have a bash at first. This is one way of getting to see southern sky stuff I am unlikely to see in the flesh so to speak. I try to get on the scopes in real time, using the scope live which I did for the L data, but due to 3 failed (2x weather and one gremlin) live attempts on gathering the colour data and then a queue I had to do the colour by reservation and slot it in between other bookings. Its a bit like waiting for your holiday photos to come back from the processing labs (analog photography reference ? ) the suspense and anticipation of waiting to see if the photos worked.

+Graham Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 That's absolutely awesome. The amount of detail in there is brilliant. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Derbyshire Dave Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Utterly stunning Phil. I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be to get on top of the hardware and software processes to produce an image like this. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
