ZWO vs. Chroma RGB Filters | Jupiter & Saturn (Ethan Chappel)

ZWO vs. Chroma RGB Filters | Jupiter & Saturn

Link to TIFF/FITS: https://www.astrobin.com/rawdata/publicdatapools/121/

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

With my recent acquisition of ZWO RGB filters for use with the C8, I was curious to see how they compare to the Chroma filters I use with the C14. I present the images here as-is with no labels so you can blindly judge the color rendition (and avoid reading the comments in case of potential spoilers) of each filter set. One set is on the left, the other is on the right. You can check out revision E to reveal which images were taken with which filters.

I've uploaded the stacks used to create these images into a public data pool so you can compare the color rendition of these filters for yourself.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
