white garnet

idk why but this looks cool

#

I dont know how you do it @tough kettle but I always get some weird color in the fainter areas. At your process its just uniform gray

charred tundra
#

nice!

tough kettle
#

my process is full of issues

#

I used a range mask to mitigate the unevenness in the background but the issues still remained

white garnet
#

okok

white garnet
#

My process looks „dirty“

tough kettle
#

the nature of these sorts of objects leaves you at the mercy of whatever the background looks like after gradient removal

#

if you go look at Adam Block when he processes this sort of stuff, he doesn't really worry much about how dirty the background is or how mottled it looks simply because that is the nature of what we are shooting when we target Dark Nebula like this

#

you have to remember, this is the first or second generation of cameras capable of shooting stuff like this and even seeing color and detail

#

imperfections inherent in these cameras as well as the extremely faint background nature of these things will pollute the overall image

white garnet
#

Surely, but how do you get that clean bc??

errant jungle
#

How did you get those colors? I can’t really get that blue without all white things becoming blue too

tough kettle
#

lol

tough kettle
#

#

@tough kettle can you upload the stacks without gradient correction? i need to practice

tough kettle
glacial cedar
#

Thanks

tough kettle
#

The masters are taking forever to upload

#

I will provide the link whenever I can

tough kettle
#

you can access them via the same link

#

i put them in the same folder, it's the generic named master light files

#

@tough kettle are the bad gradients in the Lum?

#

i just applied default settings MGC

The thing is

glacial cedar
#

do you know if the flat is useless if its rotation differs by like .1º compared to the lights?

tough kettle
#

MGC doesn't fix the large scale color patches present

#

Thats where the the challenge is

this is DESTROYING my pc

mb

#

@tough kettle how do i get it under 100mb to send

#

i tried saving as 8 bit png but that only got it to 170mb

#

did u just compress?

tough kettle
#

do you use pix?

jolly quarry
#

nope i wish

#

all free software

tough kettle
#

yeah i used resample in pixinsight

#

i dont know if there's another way you can do it beyond using the windows key + shift + s

jolly quarry
#

oh siril has resample

#

i def couldve done better but im done with this its taken like an hour bc of how much my pc was suffering

#

well heres with resample x0.75

#

i think its decent for not having pix

tough kettle
#

the dust is quite good

#

I HATE the stars though

#

that's not your fault

#

that's Siril's fault

#

Siril does not do stars well at all and I hate it

jolly quarry
#

starnet also had a seizure with it

tough kettle
#

Yeah i bet

#

there's like 8000 stars or something in this image

jolly quarry
tough kettle
#

it could have detected noise thinking it was stars

jolly quarry
#

i ran twice too, one with gaussian and one with moffat

#

moffait said something like 140,500 and gaussian had like 138000

tough kettle
#

wtf

#

weird

#

that's wild that there's that many

jolly quarry
#

@tough kettle took a fight with the uncorrected versions. Only thing that bothers me are the green rings around some stars
