Dear all,


Had a hard time processing this nebulae. Kind of too red. For your comments and suggestions.


Lights: 120 x 3 minutes
Darks, Flats, Bias

Looks great!
Regarding the red, what did you use to process?

[PKay]

Might be red, but it looks way cool!

Good job.

It's a great image, the thing is rather red, it's a lobster after all.
What software do you use?

Top effort Fernando. A little on the red side but it looks awesome. One of my favourites :thumbsup:

I don't mind the red Fernando. My only suggestion is to perhaps take some more bias to help remove the read noise that has crept into the background. That aside, you've captured lots of detail, the focus is crisp and the contrast is perfect! You definitely have a keeper. Great work! :thumbsup:

Very nice Fernando. I shot this recently (June) with same camera and a similar filter (stc duo). It's tough to process, in fact in still mucking around with it.

Mine is also fairly red when I did it with straight osc and not fiddling colour much. I started splitting the RGB and trying to beef up the GB. But I've been very slow processing stuff lately

As an overall comment. My understanding is that the L-enchancer gets the nebulae kind of reddish. Have to learn deal with it when processing






Thanks Chris. I will give it another try in Pixinsight, with closer attention to the red.





Thanks!!!





Thanks Kuz. I give it another try, maybe today






That is right Alex. It is a lobster after all. I am processing/learning in PixInsight





Thanks Peter!!!
