The benefit of RGB imaging

Hi All,

Thought I would show by pix some of the issues experienced by myself and most probably many other.

Most beginners use straight colour cameras and this is a really good start, I have now realised the benefit of RGB, although I don't have a mono camera yet i expect that I will evenutally.

I no longer have time for imaging for a while now so for tonight thought I would see what I could do reprocessing some of the close up moon images.

All my images of the moon using a barlow never felt right, slightly blurred so I split the images into their components RGB and saw my Red was the only colour in focus. This issue is more to do with my Barlow lense than anything else as without the barlow these images are great with no colour issues at all - http://www.waelect.com.au/mswhin63/M...w/index.html#8

Attached is some images:
  • RGB Original
  • Red only
  • Green only
  • Blue only
  • Red re-processed to final image.

Hope someone will get some benefit from this. I know i have especially with some of my deepsky stuff.
