Description

First time shooting narrowband. Mostly followed the process flow, including pixelmath expressions, of Lefty's narrowband processing tutorial which happens to be of this same subject.

Processing:
  • ABE and permanent STF via histogram transformation on each master to even lightness
  • Channel combination into Hubble palette and Foraxx palette, pixel math to blend
  • Invert, scnr green, invert again to reduce purple
  • NoiseXterminator, dark structure enhance, BlurX, a little bit of LHE
  • Final curves and histogram to taste

Definitely impressed with the results from a small data set during a nearly-full moon, and really looking forward to shooting more targets in narrowband.
