I just renewed my yearly license for APP and decided to upload my 2 most recent images for display, as well as for any feedback on how can I further improve my images. The Eagle Nebula is from 2 weeks ago and M13 is from last night. Both images are 1 evening integrations of about 6 hours each.
Are you using narrowband data? If RGB, you could still do some color correction and such.
Hi Jonathan @minroadkill, great results, thanks for sharing !
The globular cluster is LRGB I see, we should definitely be able to get better star colors in there 😉
Did you try the Star Color Calibration Tool?
Mabula
nice detail on the eagle
@mabula-admin I should have mentioned I was going for an "artsy" look on that pic. I use the color correction, but I am not certain that I use it correctly. I raise the red so that only about 10-20% of stars fall into the blue side and and then adjust the diagonal line to try and stay centered in the stars on the graph. I am not at home so not sure on the proper naming.
