First M42 Qhy-9
Hi,
As I post this image taken by my mate in February I thought I would practice, discover and experiment with LRGB image procesing. We were unable to guide so the image consists of 10 x 10sec lum, 10 x 5sec 2x2binning RGBs. To be honest I do not even know if I have luminence as I am using Photoshop cs3 and opened the red channel and converted it to RGB from greyscale. I then opened green, copied and pasted it in the green channel and aligned it as there was some drift. Did the same with blue and then I copied the blue layer in the channels section and pasted in the luminence. It was 32 bit and no histogram was showing so changed it to 24bit? i think and the histogram came up.Then I processed as I would normally do.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I decided to use this data as I live on the sunshine coast and I am fed up with the rain.
Our school actually scored a second hand Sirius 2.3m dome so I expect we will have rain for even longer now.
