Eta Carinae - RGB with L-enhance
Hi guys,
Been a while since I last posted any of my images. I have been struggling with processing images taken through the Optolong L-enhance filter and the resulting colour balance.
But this is my first try at adding "Narrowband" data as a luminance layer to an RGB image.
I converted the Narrowband image to black and white and just used it as a luminance layer.
I did try copying the data from each individual channel but was not happy with the result.
This comprises the following subs:
35x 2min - 800 ISO RGB Data
19x 5min - 800 ISO with L-enhance Filter.
Total exposure time = 2hr 45min.
So the luminance layer is not 100% perfectly aligned and this is also the cause of the weird framing of the shot. Will rectify that with my next set of data. But I do welcome any comments or criticism. I feel like I have finally made progress with the filter and my processing is definitely improving.
I have attached my old image of this object for comparison.
It should be right around 12 months difference between shots.
