NGC 253 in LRGB

[DavidNg (David)]

Hi,

I have collected about 11 hours in total of LRGB during 5 separate nights in November and compiled this image. I used PI to process and PS to further adjust - Don't laugh I'm a beginner.

Nice work, David! A bit of a blue colour cast but not bad at all.

Looks fine to me but colour is always a tricky thing to get right.

Balancing off a G2V star is a good start and let personal preference go from there.

I agree with Rick that is probably a bit strong in the blue.

Good one David but I would suggest a little less contrasted version and to tune up a bit the color balance, then you go

Thanks TimberLand, indeed blue is stronger I think because I have more blue data, I will cut blue down in next reprocess.

I dont even know what is balancing with a G2V, is that similar to Color Calibration in PixInsight?
