Hello All,
This is the first HaRGB combine in Astro-Pixel Processor on NGC-6992.
99% of the wokflow are made in APP.
I'm verry happy for the results
Yes that looks really good! Beautiful colors in the stars, I always struggle a bit with that, how did you manage to get the color into the cores of the stars?
Hi Vincent,
With the mixing of the layer Ha and RGB in APP, I perform a star color calibration, then it is a question of well adjusting the sharpening and the star protection.
And it's not a combination of shorter exposure for the stars and longer for the object (HDR like)? Recently I did this mixing of Ha in RGB at 80-20-20 trick and that did make for nicer stars. Still have to look at why that works so well. 🙂
Its a combination 60 X 600secs equal time for Ha and RGB 24X600secs Ha and 12X 600secs of each channels RGB
APP haved a very good tools for giving beautiful star but if my memory is good the mixing are around 80 20 20
Nice, thanks a lot for the info!
This is very nice! could you share how much Ha and RGB data used in this integration?
Helle Maxcoppell,
I use 24 X 600secs sub exposure for Ha and 12 X 600secs for each channels of RGB for a total of 10 hours
