Pastel stars?
I was interested in seeing that part of the Malins focus this year was on Pastel Stars.
So what does that mean?
Clusters can be pretty mundane to some and many of us tend to push saturation to give them a bit of a pop so as part of a project I am doing this year on clusters I am holding back and relying on PI for photometric calibration and not touching saturation at all.
Heres a couple I have done with minimal processing and in both cases the images were captured in Sydney at new moon.
M12 and M4
Dynamic crops
Photometric calibration including background neutralisation
HST
SCNR
MT
Stars are "fat as" due to shocking seeing this year so a little MT was applied.
so..Pastels..Hot or Not?
