ROSETTE NEBULA NB - TEST PLS FEEDBACK

[iron flame]

I like the one on the left, most true to the colour, however try to make it a little less purple

[tidal roost]

That was like an hour last year

[iron flame]

its a bit too pink

[tidal roost]

yea went a lil overboard haha thanks tho

[spark ice]

all ur stars are blue

in the pink one

i like the pink tho

but something destructive is happening, compare the faint nebulosity between them

theres a lot of Ha being clipped in the pink

something up with your pixel math i assume

[tidal roost]

its just Narrowband

gonna take rgb another night

[tidal roost]

?

[spark ice]

compare top left of both images

pixel math of the pink destroyed the faint bits

[spark ice]

i personally always use the nb to rgb stars script caus it works better than actual rgb stars lol

[tidal roost]

fr?

do u know any good pixinsight tut?

[spark ice]

for what

[tidal roost]

how to bette rget the faint parts

*better

[spark ice]

you just need to fix your pixel math

[tidal roost]

how tho

[spark ice]

well how did u make it

[tidal roost]

i strech it and use mask for the colors like red,green,blue,cyan,magenta

[spark ice]

so you didnt use pixel math?

[tidal roost]

nah

[spark ice]

💀

[tidal roost]

😭

[spark ice]

then just stretch the faint parts more

ghs and hist

[tidal roost]

okay

but why is pixelmath so good

[iron flame]

dont act like hes weird for not using pixel math i dont use it either

[tidal roost]

how do u do your images yours look amazing

[spark ice]

i meant that at first i suggested it was a problem with pixel math which he say he didnt use at first so it led me on

[iron flame]

different for every image i guess

but just normal histogram transforms with a bit of hyperbolic transforms

[spark ice]

theoretically you can achieve any/most color palettes with curves n stuff but pixel math makes it wayyy easier

separate your color data into mono channels of Ha and OIII and you can process them separately and combine with different pixel math formulas for different looks

[tidal roost]

i use narrowband normalisation

[spark ice]

i find that to be harsh and hard to control

you can use pixel math for similar results

[iron flame]

huh

i just use normal histogram stretches to adjust colours

[tidal roost]

can yall try to edit it if yall want so i can see how youd do it ?

only if u want ofc

[spark ice]

im a really slow processor and i dont have a lot of time rn lol sorry

[tidal roost]

nah i get it no worries

[iron flame]

sure

i got some time

[tidal roost]

thanks im uploading it rn

[iron flame]

actually will do it tomorrow, have some extra stuff to do

stuff always comes up for no reason lol

[tropic vault]

Very cool
