Hi all,
after I saw Mabula's presentation of his APP in Oss last May, I was quite surprised about the possibilities
the program had to offer. Last week I requested a trial version. I had some "fresh" data from my new 80 mm APO
of the Veil Nebula in Ha consisting of 2 panels and decided to give it a try. This is the result after some "fiddling"
with the settings. I must say, I'm very, very impressed. I also tried to stitch both panels in another program, but
didn't get the same astonishing result.
Thank you Jeroen,
This looks very nice indeed 😉
Will you be adding SII or OIII data as well?
Cheers,
Mabula
Very nicely done, Jeroen - great looking data and the integration of the mosaic is invisible (congrats to Mabula for that part)!
And the final image. Keep up the great work Mabula! Despite I had some curvature in the edges, APP didn't have any problems with this mosaic.
This is a stunning Veil Nebula Jeroen 😉 ! Very nice...
How did you register the different narrowband channels ? Did you register them all at once as a multi-layer mosaic?
Cheers,
Mabula
Hi Mabula, I loaded all of the calibrated frames (2x Ha + 2x O3 stack) into APP, did a star analysis on all four stacks and after that I
registered them (I let APP decide which frame it wanted to use as a reference). After registration I deselected both O3-stacks in the file list
and did an integration, obtaining the complete Ha- mosaic. After that I deselected the Ha stacks and selected the O3 stack and did a new
intergration for the complete O3 mosaic. During the entire process I used the settings from Sara Wagners video on your website.
Excellent Jeroen,
that is actually the best way (technically speaking) to register a multi-channel mosaic. Register all panels of all layers simultaneously 😉
I'll make a workflow topic for multichannel mosaic and direct it to this topic 😉
Cheers,
Mabula
