Beginner Tutorial with Free Data - PixInsight Hubble Palette Mono SHO

[@nikaxstrophotography]

You should also include Seti Astro's suite in your workflow, believe me some of his scripts are a game changer

Hey Luke, as the song goes, ‘nobody does it better.’ Always learning from you and your videos. Always something new, always something to learn. THANK YOU

[@lukomatico]

You're too kind mate, as always haha!! :-) glad to hear you enjoyed!

[@deep_space_dave]

I learn something new every time I watch your tutorials 🙂. Thanks Luke!

[@lukomatico]

Thank you so much Dave my friend 🙏

[@old_photons]

Nice walk through, I think this is first of your processing videos I've watched and I like the approach you take.

[@lukomatico]

Thanks ever so much mate!

[@Tony-Elliott]

Excellent tutorials Luke thanks for sharing your work and data

[@lukomatico]

My pleasure mate!! Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@jimwaters304]

Great video, also timely...! I am learning SHO processing. Its also monsoon season, clouds, dust storms and its around 100F at midnight. This video gave me something to do today. I agree about you trying the SetiAstro tools.

[@subodhshetty1]

Absolutely loving these tutorials. You have definitely changed my perception from Pixinsight being a scary monster to a rather approachable little puppy 🐶🤣 . Appreciate the efforts and attention to detail in explaining every little aspect. Looking forward to many more. Also if you could show some alternatives to the paid process such as GradXT or StarXT - would be very much helpful. Clear Skies 🌃🌠

Awesome job on this, Luke! Top notch content per usual 💯

[@lukomatico]

Thank you so much mate, I really appreciate your support! 🙏

[@tomtoka]

Hey Luke great job as always one question, the HT Unlinked Stretch is it the same as STF stretch from linear to no linear? , or it is something different ? also does it matter if I do the HT stretch before combining image or after? it is confusing little thank you - I noticed if I do this stretch before combining SHO, I get better colors than not using it, so confused, about it, what it really does, the Bill website doesnt say anything about it

[@lukomatico]

Hey mate! - I believe Bill's HT stretch tools are a little gentler than STF, giving you some more wiggle room after using it to finalise things. - RE: stretching before combining, I think that's the right way to do it, combine nonlinear data :-) Cheers!

[@ssbhide123]

Gonna give it a go with Siril and Affinity Photo.. Thanks a ton for the data! Nice way to spend a weekend haha.. Just got myself SV220 dual narrowband filter.. can't wait to get it under the sky!

[@lukomatico]

Superb mate!! Hope you enjoy it! :-D

[@GrahamWhite-p7r]

Luke, I think the one thing I have learnt from your Pixinsight videos is to experiment. Play with tool settings and mix up the order of processing.

[@CDigata]

What you do to help the new comer and fellow astronomer within this hobby is absolutely amazing Luke, Hats of to you sir - gonna start calling you DaddyLuke soon ;)

[@lukomatico]

Aw mate thank you so much for saying that, I try my best to help others avoid the stress I first started with!! 😅 Clear skies mate!

[@211milkman]

Beautiful Luke!!! I've downloaded the files so I can give it a go later on. I'll send you my results when done. As always Clear skies my friend!!!!!!

[@lukomatico]

Clear skies my friend!!

[@Astro_Shed]

Another excellent processing tutorial Luke…👍🏻

[@lukomatico]

Thanks again mate!! 👍👍

[@petesastrophotography]

Excellent work as always Luke.

[@lukomatico]

Thank you Pete mate!! Awesome to hear :-)

[@MrGeert1972]

Great tutorial like always 👍 did you hear of Seti Astro script? I love the ADBE and star stretch. I will gig it ago on your data. Cause I’m still waiting on delivery of my Ares C pro and phoenix filter wiel.

[@lukomatico]

I will check it out, cheers!

Amazing video

[@christakischristaki5036]

Thanks for the video.Everyding I learned for pixinsight is from your videos😊.Is it possible to make a video for rgb-ha-oiii filters.I took crescent nebula with rgb filters and ha+oiii and don't know how to combine ha+oiii

[@lukomatico]

Great suggestion! So glad to hear the videos have been useful by the way mate 👍👍

[@SteveHookEm]

Hey! Perfect timing for my new 2600mm! I have SHO data and IR (L) data. Do I need to integrate the IR? If so, how?

[@lukomatico]

Hey Steve! Unless there's significant data in the IR I wouldn't bother integrating it with the SHO 👍 sorry about the late reply!

[@SteveHookEm]

May have missed this--did you have equal amounts of data for S, H and O3?

[@lukomatico]

Basically mate yeah!!

[@anata5127]

How big is your computer screen? Do you think GraXpert will not remove nebulosity with gradient? How does it distinguish gradient from nebulosity? DBE definitely mess around with nebulosity. I usually do several attempts and sometimes give up.

[@lukomatico]

Hey Ana! - I use a 43" oled screen, re: graXpert removing nebulosity, it probably does remove some, I've just never found something that totally leaves everything that should be there alone 👍

[@anata5127]

@@lukomatico Ok. Good screen!

[@SteveHookEm]

When I stack my subs in APP, the file I take to PI is in the RGB space, not grayscale. Any idea why that happens?

[@AmatureAstronomer]

Nice.

[@lukomatico]

Thank you! 🙏

[@IronMan-2024]

Is that mono data or from two dual band narrowband filters?

[@lukomatico]

Mono data mate! 👍👍

[@anata5127]

Why not to use RGB stars. Take 30-45 min to collect data. Those SHO stars will never be real, even if SPCC is applied.

[@AnomalousAstro]

Try Seti Astro's NB to RGB Star Combination. You may never need to shoot RGB just for stars again.
