Hi Shawn, I bought one of your beginning imaging courses and it was excellent. You are a great teacher. The concept discussed here is also an excellent idea, so good that I was trying to follow along and do something similar with one of my images but ... my pixel math process looks totally different, perhaps because you have modified it in some way, or maybe because PI keeps improving its software. How does one generate the pixel math formula so that it corresponds to what we see in your video?

I am having problems reading the Pixel Math process details and settings off the computer screen (size is too small). Is there a downloadable process that you can provide, or write out the settings, so that I can accurately replicate them.

So great Tutorial. You got a new subscriber! By the way I'm wondering about something.. Do you think it makes any sens to try to recover the SII channel by taking two sequences, one with this dualband, and one with a selective 7nm Ha, and then remove via a pixelmath subtraction the Ha Channel from the dualband channel. You should get the SII and OIII signal remaining . Which should be a very interesting signal to add to the Dualband. You gain both SII and a stronger OIII Am I wrong?

@JaySott3 жыл бұрын
Shawn, Just to clarify a bit (and I see someone else asked I think). Is what you are calling your master light frame, the Integrated Master after Calibration, Debayer and Registration (Star alignment)? Am thrown off a bit by the more mono appearance if so. Also, why assign SII to Red, when it is predominantly Ha? (doesn't really matter as long as you keep them straight) Appreciate the effort in putting the video together. Thanks...
@VisibledarkAstro3 жыл бұрын
Hi Jay - yes the master light is the integrated master after calibration, debayer and registration. It is indeed a colour image (RGB). I think it's just the video compression throwing things off a bit and giving it that look lacking colour. If you look close though you can see some colour in it, red mostly. As for assigning SII to red, in a typical/standard SHO combination workflow the SII is assigned to the red channel, Ha to the green channel and OIII to the blue.

@waareagle36916 ай бұрын
I know this is an older video... but there are a couple of things that I just can't figure out. First of all, the original calibrated L-eNhance master should have a LOT more red in it... NGC7000 is rich in hydrogen and it appears very, very red through a dual narrowband filter... like "in your face" red! Second, extracting the RGB channels and renaming them Sii (R), Ha (G), Oiii (B) and then recombining them isn't really accomplishing anything. The Pixelmath is adding a little bit of Ha to the green channel (at the expense of Oiii); but recombining is going to result in almost the exact same HOO image that you started with. To approximate SHO, most of the Ha needs to actually move out of red and into green (you can't just name it Sii and expect it to stop behaving like Ha). I could be wrong; but I suspect that the original "master" was altered beforehand to make this process work.

Great video! I was just thinking over the weekend, how I could separte my picture of the eagle nebula taken with a OCS and the OPT Triad Ultra quad-band filter with pixelmath into Ha, OIII and SII and create a Hubble like picture :-) The idea was to use the sensitivity per wavelength per color to define the ratio for the wavelength of the emmission lines and then calculte out of the original R, G and B the picture for the Ha, OIII and SII. Unfortunately the result was not satisfying. I assume the issue is, that I started with the fully callibrated and stacked RGB picture. Because of the impact of the flats (not really neutral), the color ratio for Ha, OIII and SII was changed, so that my transfer matrix was wrong. I may have to start doing the segregation already with subframes (debayer, RGB split), same for the flats. Then callibrate them and stack them seperatly,. I'm only not sure of the impact darks and bias, if I use them on already debayered picture.

Two different processing techniques between the videos and images. The other video with the Cygnus Wall being more red, is processed different. And in that one I did use the Lpro for star colour only. This video the process is a split channel, remapping, false colour, and you'll get a different colour effect. The blue as example, may not be very prominent, and has to be teased out, hue adjustments etc for the false colour look.
