Triffid

[Sunfish (Ray)]

Here is a another first for me. The Triffid with an ASI 183mc 25x3min + 5xHa filter

Also another first, a very fast Eagle .

I am not sure why the live view on this camera seems so brown and the colour can not be found for all the small stars. Must be an OSC colour setting which I am yet to discover to increase the colour space range. On the plus side, the tilt seems marginally better at this scale.

Interesting to try Sharpcap live stacking for 5 minutes which kind of works. Especially when stacked with 10 x 3 min subs in addition. A target for a longer focal length on another day.

pretty good captures Ray, well done.

Your Red channel is looking good however your Green and Blue Channels need the black Level point shifted to the right. That will help the colour and make the background blacker, which will make the objects pop more.

Good work!

A little better ?. Straight out of Nebulosity 4 but still no colour in the background. Just not enough colour depth in the image data.

hi ray,

yeah a little bit better but the channels are still not quite aligned to balance the colours. sorry i don't use nebulosity so i can't give much more advice.

i've balanced the channels for you below for both the versions so you can see what i mean.

anyway, the data is pretty good so you can tinker around

cheers

Thanks for that. I may try some other software. The channels were aligned when the stack came out of the dss stack but there is some other problem.

For the live stack image I think I need to set the white balance more correctly in Sharpcap when I take the raw 16 image.

The colour is almost impossible to balance later.
