Multi star guided.
The version D is a quick test with only SHO channels.
It is interesting to note that after tricolor combination R=SII, G=Ha & B=OIII, I did an SCNR to remove green neutral, which had the effect of giving a good color for stars (no magenta).
This image show how small are the stars as compared to the RGB (slightly below 2 arcsec of FWHM).
Version F : RGB image : the Colo saturation was selectively applied to the stars using a NL light mask
The processing was done in PI as follow (version original):
For each R ,G ,V, Ha, OIII & SII channels :
- Flat Field Dark Substraction
- Flat Field Integration
- Images Calibration (Dark Substraction for RGBSHO and FF correction only for RGB (no need for SHO ...))
- Cosmetic Correction
- Image Registration
- Image Integration
- Noise Reduction (Demure) with 0.9 as variance
Using each integrated channel :
- Created RGB color image using channel combination
- Color balance on stars using a star mask
- Created RGBSHO image using NBLRGB combination tool
- Nonlinear Image Creation using NBRGB values
- Color balance on all image
- Perform SCNR (neutral 70%)
- Color saturation with boost in blue
- Color saturation with mask on star only
Final image adjustments performed in Iphoto on Imac (levels adjustments and deflip)
Description: With 50% mix of an HDRMultiscale image
Description: Pure SHO quickly done
Description: Ha channel
Description: RGB image
Description: Improved (I think) processing in 2019
