Popular Post Allan the Plumber Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Hi first post for sometime (been catching data) This is the first panel of a four panel mosaic I've done on the Flaming star Nebula. Due to the poor data on one of the panels of OIII I decided to see what I could get with one of the panels the Tadpoles and work on this. Below is both an image with and without stars. Pixinsight has a great star removal tool add on that allows work on the nebulous part rather than stretching and bloating the stars in the process. After completing the processing you can add the stars back in. I may start adding RGB run as the star colours will be correct as compared to the Narrowband option Data Ha 15x 600s SII 7 x 600s OIII 9 x 600s Dark, flats and Bias frames Stacked and Processed in Pixinsight Thanks for looking Edited February 4, 2020 by Allan the Plumber better link to view Bassinghamobservatory, red dwalf, Bottletopburly and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Struggled to load the images from your orginal post but I'm glad I did. They are superb, I like to see colours other than just red in an image. Presumably image 1 is the same as image 2 but with the stars re-added? If so, it certainly works. I'm guilty of stretching images so that I end up with bloated stars hiding the interesting stufff so it's definitely something I will try.

I used it to remove the narrowband stars and layered ib the rgb ones in the jellyfish image. Somebody on here (sorry can't remember who it was) mentioned it a good few months ago.

That looks like an excellent tool. As it can be used stand alone, I will definitely download it and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Downloaded the standalone version of Starnet last night. (50+ min for a 450M file! They must have a slow server, glad I wasn't in a hurry.) Sorry to see it can only be used with already stretched images, my intention was to use it on the linear data and then apply the stretch. So does anyone know how stretched the input image needs to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nice one Allan, these familiar objects always look different with no stars. Allan the Plumber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
