Hello friends, new and improvised collaboration of two good friends.After finishing my last image, (Cone Nebula and Fox Fur), my colleague Raúl shared his latest data with me (he is starting fast in processing), to exchange impressions, a good data set, 80x300. And almost the same framing as my image, but at a slightly different angle. Why not an Rgb-ha image? And I got down to work. In addition, our friend Javier (owner of my old GSO 8", was also capturing these nebulae with his Canon eos. We organized and set up said mayor at Raúl's house (Better views than at my house), with my beloved Moravian G2, and we captured a few hours of good data on H-Alpha alone in three nights.The rest was up to me, but wow, it wasn't easy to combine this data, the pixel scale wasn't far off, but a working combination wasn't possible, I finally had to invent something, known as "elastic transfer". ", don't try to search for this, I made it up right now 😂😂😂, I prepared an image with H-alpha and oxygen data from my own data, completely finished. and used it as a mask to do a small part of the stretching (like 40%), in Javier's H-alpha image, I stretched the rest with HT, without a mask, this worked very well 👍😎.The rest, combined with Raúl's color data and several days of changes and small improvements, the stars were also a pain, I finally used my own and added some peaks, which together with the deep red increase the drama of the image.
And meanwhile I continue with the Virgo cluster, now, 22 hours, only luminance 😜 and rising.
Greetings friends, be happy 😁.
