Colorized SHO Palette NO MORE FIGHTING THE GREEN!

Super excited to present this new version of combing narrowband data in the Hubble Palette!

[@quincylee2276]

As a noob, I must say, your method is the most intuitive and straightforward one I've come across. Thanks very much for sharing!

[@enteringintospace4685]

Right on! Appreciate you letting me know

[@perrywarburton9046]

WOOTWOOT 👊🏼

[@dandadrumman]

WOW! That color is incredible. Looks like really clean data too!

[@johnhawkes7681]

Super workflow. Got me closer to the true Hubble pallet than the other 30 or so approaches I've taken! Many thanks.

[@davidschaeffer5322]

Totally awesome !! Blew my mind !!

[@chatterjeevideos]

This is awesome. I always enjoyed the creative artistic process, and love your comment about "colors are personal". This new process opens up a lot of creative opportunities to stay engaged with the hobby. Thank you for taking the time to make the video.

[@davidcohn4755]

Fabulous. Thank you. Yet another method to save the sub-optimal data I specialize in. You do great videos, just the right pace.

[@Grolabolator]

Nice!!!

[@ergio1]

This is amazing mate! I need to try it now 😂

[@juliebotts2177]

Woot Woot, I had much better results quicker using this method. I changed it up a bit by using Pixelmath to change the relative strengths of the channels, multiplying each channel to increase or decrease its relative strength to bring out more or less of a filter, usually only a factor or .8 to 1.2 for the multiplier. So if too much blue multiply Oii by .8, not enough red multiply Sii by 1.2. I also removed the stars prior to running DBE, using blurxterminator and noise exterminator prior to stretching. Really love how well this approach works!!

[@enteringintospace4685]

Interesting adding the percentages on pixelmath. Glad you liked the process!

[@SimonsAstro]

Bloody awesome Steve! Am I allowed to say that??? Woot Woot from me🤛 I will try that for sure, I've tried a few of your edits and they're all great, so thanks for that! Good shout out to Quiv for sharing his ideas also👍Clear Skies!

[@stephenthexton7056]

Brilliant video ~ thank you !! I just tried it and ended up with a horrible magenta mess with a blue haze over it so back to the drawing board on that one, but learnt so much along the way. I suspect much of my failure down to fine tuning the masks for the different channels and then getting a better saturation balance. Great to play about with. Perhaps a different target with less complex nebula to start with for me. Thanks again😂

[@enteringintospace4685]

Hey thanks for letting me know and yes I've had some data produce a heavy magenta bias but the correct magenta stars script will take care of that. I've also found the heavier red tones in the sulfur will contribute to that. Making the sulfur data just a bit darker yellow that the ha data will also help. Good luck!

[@wisconsinite920]

Great idea! I got a great SHO image with only 6 hours of data this way. Very nice. Also, "Process Batch" is your friend if you don't want to remove stars one at a time...

[@vtambellini]

I also have something similar, 7 hours- but using this method my images always look super muddy and noisier. I wonder if I’m not doing something correctly….

[@bobc3144L]

I have used your method on several images since you came out with this video. Great results on all of them...until...two nights ago. I shot NGC6888 in medium seeing conditions with my EdgeHD11/6200MM/30 x 180 sec RGB for stars/90 x 180 sec SHO for nebula. I tried three times with crazy colors/results, absolute junk! I finally thought about trying pixelmath to combine the 3 colorized/processed images by using them each as a portion of one color channel only, i.e., ((.33*S)+(.33*H)+(.33*O)). This worked OK. I finally tweaked the combination proportions, emphasizing the Oii at .5 and S&H at .25. This worked very well. Just when you think you have something figured out in this hobby, something throws in the monkey wrench. Just my observations. Thanks for your innovative thinking.

[@auldauzzie69]

Great video. Very good idea. However I notice that when I try it, even though I have coloured the H-alpha yellow-orange, when I combine in pixelmath, it comes through as green.
