Technicolour dream wizard (urmymuse)

Technicolour dream wizard

Well I am at the start of my journey with my new equipment and software - the hubble palette has come to the patio in Leeds, or at least some version of it

Other than improving my processing I got to sort my stars ... have got CCD inspector now , have ordered tilt adapter so should be able to sort that aspect and then need to improve guiding

Also my autofocuser should be arriving soon which will drive some improvement I think

Having said that this image of the Wizard nebula is loads better than my previous one with my 7D and duo narrow band filter so am pleased

This is one hour HA, One hour Sulphur and three hours oxygen

Any hints and tips gratefully received !

Description: Ok this my sixth go on this lol ... the best yet! Processed each channel individually from starless versions .... starnet++ leaving quite a lot of artefacts where the stars have been removed so spent ages trying to sort this ... still looks blotchy on close inspection ... stars heavily reduced are not brilliant ...

Description: Never been happy with the processing of my Wizard .... had another go, much less aggressive ... avoided using starless and just did star reduction, played with colours a bit to get a redder yellow ... I like it!

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.
