IC1805, Heart Nebula. First time trying editing mono

[iron kite]

So I recently upgraded my kit, got a new WO Redcat 51 WIFD and 533mm.
Wanted to do a rematch with this nebula. Cuze I had shot it with my DSLR earlier.

So this is an, IDK what image anymore, it has the Ha, Oiii and Sii. I believe I did an HSO image, but im not certain anymore.
My RGB data was a disaster (on my part), so I resorted with the remaining 11 hours I had of the narrowband combined data.

70x300s x Ha = about 6 hours
39x300x Oiii = 3 hours 15 min
20x300s x Sii = 1 hour 40 min

Am I happy with the image? Yes
Do I like the image? No, want to reprocess it again, but im trying to figure out how to process it in SHO without it being a green monster.

Used Siril and GraXpert for processing, might be time to buy pixinsight?? Or just a massive skill issue on my part. I think Siril is very very powerfull. But im still debating seeing its 360 euro's.

Wonderful

The data doesnt look bad but you definitely got something wrong. It has the signature Siril orange/brown colour. SHO will result in a green monster like you say after channel combination, idk about Siril but in Pix I just combine, unlink stretch the channels and I get close to final colours

If you could share the data in #1021002743080558642 it would be nice

also, post PNGs in discord

Yeah, I think the data is not the issue, its more my editing skills which are basically non existing.

I'll post the data

I did the stacking in siril. Used to do it in DSS, but its been giving me headaches for the last couple months. Hate it now 😂

[clear locust]

DSS is useless

[iron kite]

yeah, i found that out

im really on the edge of just buying pixinsight, cuze all of the tuturials are with pixinsight, and it seems to be just more liked.

[clear locust]

all the kids in here will tell you that its not worth it, but trust me, it is

[iron kite]

buuuuutt 360 is still a big chunk of money

[iron kite]

Yeah,
