It is a real pleasure to present this image today, not for the image itself, but for the collaboration with my dear friend Uwe, he and I grew up together in this hobby and it makes me very happy to have his collaboration.
After a couple of years out of the business my processing skills were simply obsolete, Uwe provided me with a document with his detailed workflow, a great gift to me, and would surely update my images, also what can you tell me about the stars, pretty, right? 😁😁, this time yes. Uwe, who was responsible, provided me with this set of data that really illuminates this picture. In addition he also dared to process my NB data with an outstanding result and maximum attention to details, a real gem,
https://astrob.in/1yy7ru/0/ and it is not easy, the OIII channel generates horrible "Alos", which practically destroy the image, but wow, he handled them masterfully. I followed several ways to process this data, first I linked the mosaics and proceeded to the processing with several good attempts but they did not let me take the image to my field, the solution was to process both images separately and join them later. At this point I do not pay attention to details or affiliates, I'm only interested in the color.
The union was very difficult, because the difference in tones distorts the histogram and the adaptation causes very important color distortions, after about 200 attempts😅😅😅 I got something that made me smile, and like Gilda, the pretty stars of Uwe (and with a masterful final repair on your part👏👏👏). The rest was sharpening and depth work on a luminance of the previously stitched H-alpha and Sodium channels.
Happy New Year to all and best wishes 💓.
Inigo.
