oldfruit Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Woke up early this morning (2.30AM) as I had seen that the GRS would be visible and also a couple of shadow transits, though I only caught one. These are LRGB images and I have posted like this as I have yet to have time to figure out how to combine them to get a colour image. Ibbo has kindly offered to assist with this but work and family always seem to take up my time at the moment. I do hope I will get the chance to have that conversation as I prefer colour images. The moon visible in the images is Europa and its shadow can clearly be seen on the disc of Jupiter. I have somehow managed to slightly rotate the camera during capture of the luminance image (silly me). As usual, images taken with 8 inch Helios newt, ASI 120MM camera, Televue 2 x Barlow with extension. From the top, luminance, blue, red, green. Thanks for looking.

tbird Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Come on Mark, you keep teasing us, about time you got them combined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 You can combine them in Registax if I remember rightly, Ive done it with DSOs. You have to label each channel with *_L,* _R,* _, *_G, *_B so it knows then do a combine. Its ages since I did it but it seemed to work OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ages since I did it but it seemed to work OK Tried that Phil, struggling to be honest and having to keep leaving it to see to work or kids is not helping. Ibbo also suggested photo shop but struggled with that too! Come on Mark, you keep teasing us, about time you got them combined I need a colour camera!!

oldfruit Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 This is the best I have managed with Registax 6 with RGB. Not great but getting somewhere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foundaplanet Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Nice one, getting somewhere now... I would think a bit of a play in PS will make quiet a difference to.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks to all for all advice and pointing me in the right direction. This imaging lark is a bit difficult sometimes but on this forum you are never more than a PM or post away from help. Cheers guys and gals.

andyboy1970 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thats come out well, I tend to combine mine in Photoshop - http://lcogt.net/education/article/how-make-color-astronomical-images-photoshop The website guides you through the process.

philjay Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Glad it worked Mark, I seem to remember getting peculiar results initially when combining in registax but got there eventually How long/frame rate did you give each sub, im intereste as I hope to give colour a go with my imgoh cam. I know you have to keep everything to within 3 minutes to avoid rotation blurr but it seems to me to be an awful lot to do in 3 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks Phil, I had read that it could be done but it was not until you pointed out about renaming the files that I realised my mistake so thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
