Colour Alignment Software

Hi,

I have some issues regarding my Barlow, perfect for visual but CCD it is causing substantial blue shift which I assume is Chromatic Aberation.

I have tested Registax to re-align final RGB after stacking and has shown some good results but I want to re-align 2000 frames before processing and wondering if anyone knows either some software or easy to define Registax Batch commands that I could re-align the RGB automatically before I process all 2000 frames.

Attached is a before after Alignment
Cheers

Hi Malcolm,

A better idea, probably, is to extract the R, G and B channels from all images, then stack these separately. Once you have these aligned and stacked, combine the 3 images in something like the GIMP or Photoshop. The GIMP lets you do Chromatic Aberration correction with a free plugin - not sure about PhotoShop.

Depending on the type of chromatic aberration (this won't work for lateral CA) you can achieve the same thing by loading R, G and B in 3 separate layers, set them to 'lighten' and just move around red and blue until you're happy (move red into the opposite direction of blue).

Hope this helps!

Ivo

Thanks Ivo, actually I did this recently. Should have mentioned it.

It seemed to work http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=68692

I used a program called RGB Split after ppmcentre located in the resources section of Iceinspace

Cheers
