Description

Tried a HDR composition for the first time. Acquired two sets of RGB @ 120/100/120 each and one set of RGB @ 45/40/45. 30 images in each set. Combined each of them with Ha 15 subs @ 8 mins. Used HDR composition with the two HaRGB sets.

I'm thinking of getting further separated data.. Maybe at 150s and 30s to add to this. I can see some additional highlights areas on the outer edges can be brought in and same for the still overexposed core.

Anyways this was a good experiment with HDR composition.

Also, for this I used my Samsung galaxy phone to calibrate the colors. The superb OLED screen really pops the colors. It's a tedious process going back and forth from the PC to the phone. End result is it looks great on the phone. Not so sure about the other screens. Let me know.
