The triffid on a wet afternoon

[DJT]

A late repro. I got round to deblooming the original masters from a couple of years ago this arvo but struggled with the Luminance, so I reprocessed this as a straight RGB.

It won't stand up to deep inspection but I did enjoy playing with this.

I like that rendition David, quite 'punchy' in appearance considering !
Good colour & depth :thumbsup:

Looking good. :thumbsup: Can't wait for this one to get up again.... and its famous neighbor :scared3:

Looking quite good David, pity you haven't had any success in using the Lum as of yet. More deblooming and it'll be deeper hopefully :)

[strongmanmike]

Well Dave, seems clear the double diffraction pattern on the stars suggests it is out of focus a tad so if that wasn't the case, maaate, it could have been a de-blooming excellent image :P

Of course if you just get some (focused) Lum this year, you have the RGB ready, the RGB being out of focus actually helps in the LRGB combine :thumbsup:

Pants..it is indeed out of focus. Funny what you have to watch out for and what you forget to look at.

Have been lazy with the Lum. With RGB I was able to debloom the calibrated masters without any damage, but not the Lum master. May need to go back and do it at the single sub level as I should have done in the first place.

Of course, rather hoping the Lum is in better focus..:(

Nice colour and the reflection nebula is nicely present. Should do well when combined with some quality luminance, David!

Cheers,
Rick.

Colours look great Dave! Shame your focus is a bit out but if you overlay this (as a colour layer) over some good luminance that won't matter.

[DJT]

Thanks guys.
I checked the luminance last night and the focus isn't pinpoint. Also, these were 5 minute subs and Maxim's deblooming function whilst good in most cases wasnt giving great results on the individual subs leaving too many artifacts so I will need to go shorter next time out.

Regardless though, I was really quite impressed with the amount of reflection neb coming out with just RGB data.

cheers.
