Description

Cite from cloudynights: " I have 14 10-minute subs of the crescent nebula. These were taken with an ASI2600MC Pro OSC camera, using a 91mm triplet refractor with flattener. All very good equipment in great shape. The processing is driving me nuts. I'm processing it in Siril and the autostretch view looks great. However, if I do: Image Processing .. Histogram transformation .. Apply autostretch algorithm, the result looks crappy. I only did this out of desperation because all of my attempts to apply GHS are failing miserably. My data are good. ASIFitsView shows a very nice image, and the Siril AutoStretch view looks even better. However, I cannot seem to separate bacground green from green in the image in any of my attempts.The link is below, stacked with DeepSkyStacker. It's a single .fit file. Please let me know if you have any issues downloading it.What can you do with it, and how?Thanks!Dave"

Vostok1 made false HOO palette and I followed him by my own way, using Siril and Fitswork. Dave was absolutely right - Siril makes a crazy autostretch, the only way to make it right is manual stretching of the channels. Fitswork makes good job by splitting RGB into separate channels, joining as HOO, modifying etc. The final result may be not perfect but looks OK for me (at least it takes 10 minutes for all modifications).
