Is there a part that I skipped or is this the part you were looking for?? lol

@@rockymountainastro1239 Batch processing. Everyone seems to want to skip this part. Particularly 2.5.x version. No one likes to cover that part along with the dark and flat frames. May seem simple for some genius like you, but i am total noob and have no clue. So please consider a total NOOB LRGB video from ground ZERO. Thx

@@Nick-we7lf Well I use deep sky stacker . I assume that people have their data stacked and calibrated when starting this video. There are several other videos on KZbin about batch preprocessing and calibrating. This video is not about that.

Thank you! Yes I went from dslr to mono ccd about 5 years ago and it's sucked at first.. had no idea what I was doing but I saw the potential! It helped tremendously and then I switched to pixinsight.. game changer!

Thanks for the kind words! Clear skies to you as well :)

Thanks Jason :) much appreciated

Thank you, Drew! I'm glad to see that after this long, this still helps people.

So glad I could help!

Under the process called "Star alignment" I choose my Luminance image as my reference photo and then simply apply a new instance to your Red, green, and blue master files individually and they should align! Once you set your reference image, drag and drop the little triangle bottom left of the process box to each of your RGB master files.

So glad that this was of help!!

Awesome to hear! That was a game changer for me as well. I used it today! So glad I could be of some help

Thanks so much for the insight. So glad I could be of help (:

Thanks Tal! I havent advertised this one all too much. The exposure times were 10 minutes long under bortle 3/4 skies! I used an 8" rc, asi1600, and a cem60 with astrodon LRGB filters. Glad it was of some help!

Im glad its helped! I have since switched to the automated filter wheel and would have it no other way. It did cause a lot of dust to settle on my filters. It was a temporary solution.. but the EFW are very much worth it

Thank You!

So glad to hear it helped!!

Hi Alec, I am sorry that I did not see this. I noe starnett the stars out before combining and then add them in photoshop. I also have a tutorial on this using my Pelican Nebula SHO data.

Thank you! I have since switched to a 10" newtonian and asi183mm.

@@rockymountainastro1239 it is a big telescope at the moment i used telescopes up to 6 inch. How it performs for deep sky?

Hi Mostafa ,I have only done this with Bicolor images as I never get a good result combining them in the linear state. With tri-color data, I absolutely combine in the linear state!

@@rockymountainastro1239 thanks

So glad to hear that I could help! Getting that blue color to pop is much easier to do when you are imaging with all three, Ha, Oiii and Sii. I have recently gotten a 3nm Sii filter and the differences are drastic. If you do not have, one I would highly recommend it! Thank you for the feedback! Clear Skies (:

@@rockymountainastro1239 You're welcome Teagan. I remember following you on the other website (Astrophotography Forum?) when you were just getting started. You have certainly come a long way. I do have an Siii filter and just finished combining to form an SHO image. I used the RangeSelection approach to boost both the O3 and S2 images before combining with the Ha. I then used the blurring technique on the combined image before using LRGB with the Ha as the Luminance. It worked perfectly. Your suggestions are now part of my workflow! I posted the SHO image (Heart nebula) at this link: theskysearchers.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=14292 Cheers - Steve

I did like color combining in photoshop! Rather simple process. Thanks for the feedback :)

Very nice! Glad I was able to help. CS

Yes, there are so many! When you really star to understand PixInsight (lots of practice and re processing) you will start to get creative. You can really manipulate the data you capture ANYWAY you want to but it takes some critical thinking about what it is you want to do and how you can achieve it. You can become more creative the more you know about the software!

Fantastic! I hope it helped (:

I do not actually! I have really been meaning to upload more videos but life throw lemons at ya! Im currently trying to make lemonade haha. Hopefully I can make some more videos here soon. Feel free to ask anything youd like. Im happy to help

I’ve done ok, but I always want to be sure my subs are as good as they could be. What is your hardware and what are you shooting your subs at, gain, offset, temp, etc, and what Bortle sky are you in? I’d be curious to see or know what your ADU target for your background sky is when shooting. Do you tend toward long subs and less of them or shorter subs and lot of them. ;) I’m in a Bortle 5 and I’m shooting the N.A. Neb with a ZWO ASI183mm Pro at 100mm gain175, offset 10, -15c, 900 sec for narrowband and 180 sec for broadband. Cheers man!

@@DamianVines So for my 8rc I shoot at gain 139 for both broadband and NB. I am in bortles 4 skies. I shoot 900s subs for NB and 600s subs for LRGB. For my newt I shoot gain 0 for LRGB and gain 139 for NB. Shooting with the Newt is a bit harder in broadband bcsc the stars and galactic cores saturate easily. I usually shoot 300-600s though and mix in some 30s subs

Fantastic! Glad It helped!

I have since been doing just that. I prefer to combine when they are linear and then do a photometric color calibration. This has been giving me great results :)
