Crescent testing phase

[hallow narwhal]

Im hoping to double the integration time but here is current situation 13h of HOO(RGBstars)

Esprit 100
2600MM + Antlia 4,5nm Ha OIII + RGB
CEM70
Bortle 4
Moon ? eh sure

PixInsight

[tiny mural]

Nice

Transition between Ha and OIII seems a little harsh/unnatural tho?

[fierce stump]

holy wow that's a lot of Oiii data

[valid bear]

I agree, a transition gradient is needed, probably too aggressive w curves or smthing

[hallow narwhal]

yea, needs tweakinh

[tiny mural]

Oiii looks sick tho

[graceful plaza]

nice your signals crazy

idk how i feel about the background being so oiii dominated

but as a southern person idk the region very well

so i could be wrong

[valid bear]

it’s mostly ha, but i can see that oiii being overpowering that ha

@hallow narwhal is this with blurx, which blurx version, and if so how much strength you use

[hallow narwhal]

correct only, but this is downsampled image

[ripe peak]

what do you mean correct only

And yes I see it's downsampled but not what I was worried about

[hallow narwhal]

hmm i prefer the unusual oiii dominated image, after all it is HOO

[hallow narwhal]

blurx on correct only setting

[ripe peak]

Im getting an esprit + imx 571 soon and just wanna get a feel with what kind of resolution I can work with

what is the correct only setting

Ohh

So not sharpening?

[hallow narwhal]

have you seen my lagoon

[ripe peak]

You mean correct the stars?

No

Ill go look

[hallow narwhal]

@ripe peak

[ripe peak]

same gear?

[hallow narwhal]

ye

but rgb only

[ripe peak]

blurx with star correction only, again?

[hallow narwhal]

ye

[ripe peak]

That's excellent for no deconvolution

I'd be curious to see what it looks like if you touched the sharpening sliders

[hallow narwhal]

the lagoon above is with decon at 50% for nonstellar amd 5% for stellar

keep in mind the resolution at low altitude objects like lagoon is pretty meh

but thats like 1.6-7" resolution

[ripe peak]

ah you told me you only did star correction for that ok

[hallow narwhal]

yeah nevermind that was w standard, the crescent is correction only
keep in mind correction only also does some decon/sharpening

[graceful plaza]

@ripe peak correct only corrects for distortion and stars, so your image could look more sharpened especially if star shapes are bad, its just doesnt do any "extra" sharpening

[ripe peak]

Im well aware 👍

There's non stellar and stellar sharpening and distortion correction
