Horrendous weather over the last few days on the South Coast so did some reprocessing of the Prawn Nebula which was captured last week
Cleaned up a bit of Vignetting in the original image by using the Vignetting preset in the Wipe module of Startools
Used the Compose module to load my data set and selected L + Synthetic L from R (2xG) B, R (GB) (GB) Bi Colour from OSC
As advised left the RGB channels as default 1 hour 3600sec
Upon hitting the colour module I just used the Matrix and selected 4 different SHO versions with minor tweaks to green and red . Backed off bright saturation as well
Ended up with some “subtle Bi colour images” in various SHO which is a welcome change from the usual OSC Ha red dominant narrowband images
Peter,
Thanks for your nice comment
I tried a different gradient wipe ( Vignetting) in lieu of a (Narrowband) gradient wipe and it revealed more faint detail plus went really light on the saturation which left a wispy glow in the nebulosity
It’s not your stereotypical “WOW” image with bold colour etc... but I was happy with the final versions especially using a OSC under a full moon with the L Extreme filter
Cheers
M.
