New Narrowband Normalization Process in Pixinsight!!!

[@TomBobo-x3y]

Everyone reading these comments “Buy these Guys a Coffee”!!! Bill and Mike, I thank you for your passion and devotion in the development of processes to make the average Astrophotographer a master of his hobby. Having spent hours in the past to produce an acceptable image, your processes make it quick and simple to do the same. My results using your tools are incredible and now, processing is a delight instead of a chore.

@AnotherAstroChannel Do we need Non-Linear data? I mean, do we gain or lose anything instead of using Linear data?

[@anotherastrochannel2173]

The advantage of non-linear data is that you can use lightness control feature to enhance the image. You cannot use lightness when linear.

I've got this installed following the steps, adding repository, check for updates and install updates restart and it is there. However, if I close my pixinsight, I have to go through this process again because it will not load this process. I have other process that use repositories and will load but not this one. Any tips?

[@Regal49]

I appreciate the work you've done helping the astrophotography community and I've purchased several of your products used in Pixinsight. I have a question concerning support for your XTerminator products pertaining to customers running AMD GPU's. I know CUDA acceleration helps performance with nvidia cards, but it's my understanding that PyTorch using AMD's ROCm technology could possibly allow AMD GPU users to use CUDA as well. I'm wondering if you're exploring this potential option for enhancing product performance for your AMD GPU customers? It's my understanding that you've created a simplified setup process for your customers using nvidia GPU's. Thanks again.

[@hansfeitz1179]

Hi Bill et al, to combat the Bortle 4-5 conditions I was recommended to purchase the OPT Triad Ultra Filter, which has NB for Hb (Blue), OIII Green), Ha and SII (both Red) as per the supplied spectrum. I failed to find any tutorial or information on how to NB process these OSC images in PI. None of the Paelette options (HOO, SHO, etc) seem to suit my images. Anyone out there who can enlighten me and perhaps others? Cheers, Hans Feitz - Sydney

[@leomarchadier1239]

Very like work, i love V5 for HOO process. I'm with OSC with NB filter I try the new version and compare to V5 and something strange, highlight are too bright all the time it and become too much white. I test all settings but the V5 reduce more highlight when it too bright. It is normal or maybe update soon ? Thanks for you'r work From France

Hi.. This is amazing.. One question.. how do I get the UI? I have the scripts on my desktop and they work when I configure and drag to my image but I dont have the UI to control everything. Thanks.

That is just awesome 👏 I never used the previous version cause I have OSC camera. But seeing this and what you can do with OSC data I definitely will give it a go. I do use the HOO SHO scripts from Bill and love them. But this will give me much more control and make it a lot easier to make my image pop thx 🙏

Hi and congratulations for your work ! I love this script but after the recent update on Pixinsight I cannot find it . I have tried removing the recent update - re adding the script but nothing happens. Pixinsight says there is no update available .

[@galactus012345]

This is the one I've been waiting for in the family of new scripts. It's not even a script, but a process. You also add saturation prevention. The preview mode and commands are very pleasant to use. I'm totally impressed. I'm very happy to use it for my osc images. So cool

[@anotherastrochannel2173]

Thank you!! :-)

[@astrophotocologne]

So far its interresting playing around with the tool, as i never found a way to process NB Data that satisfied me. If you are using Mono Camera data, how would you initially prepare the images? For instance you only have Ha and OIII. Would you combine them as an rgb with Ha assigned to Red and OIII to Blue and green, stretch them and neutralize the background? Would you do a linear fit? And the same question I am asking myself for HSO data. Thank you.

[@billblanshan3021]

The only thing that you need to do is do a channel combination with the data that you have, then you can do the background extraction because it will neutralize the background that way, otherwise if you don't need to do background extraction you just need to do background neutralization. Once you have done that you can do narrowband normalization as linear or you can do it later on in the process after you have stretched it which is what I recommend because we have lightness control which you can only use on nonlinear images.

[@fernandoapausa4931]

This is insanely awesome! thanks a lot Bill and Mike for putting this together! I have just a question in order to adjust my NB workflow with this new tool. I use a mono camera and normally combine the NB channels with SHO palette. If I decide processing the data in non-linear state, would make any difference to strech each NB channel individually? or I can combine the SHO image in linea state, strech it all together, and this tool will have still all the margin to boost the fainter OIII and SII signals?

[@anotherastrochannel2173]

Thanks for the nice comment! To answer your question, the point of NBN process is so you dont have to individially stretch your channels, the script is doing it for you thus save you a lot of time and gives you a real time preview of the changes you make while maintaining background neutralized. It is up to you on if you want to further stretch your channels individually after NBN. I hope this naswers your question :-)

[@bobc3144L]

I am still hesitant to update to the latest PI version as everything is working perfect, including CUDA. In the past, I have had to spend several hours getting CUDA to work correctly again....so....I was unable to try out this new Narrowband Normalization process. THEN....you modified it to work with the old PI version! I just tried it and, once again, you guys are Super Heroes. Similar to other comments, in the past, I have spent a lot of time changing stretches, curves, etc. to achieve my desired result with NB images.

[@Rafastro]

Is there still an Advantage or purpose in getting extra O3 if the signal is weak?

[@billblanshan3021]

It actually depends on the target and how weak the signal is, if the signal is too weak then all you will get is noise so you definitely want to make sure that your target does contain some 03 signal.

[@anotherastrochannel2173]

Actually, when Lightness mode is off, it is just what you requested in a sense, meaning, the bost in Ha and OIII is what you are seeing thus has the evenly boosted lightness. We just offer other lightness modes to make this script more powerful. Hope that makes sense.

[@anotherastrochannel2173]

What would we be normalizing too though? We need to refeence a channel to normalize too, as this process by default will normalize to the Ha channel. You can take RGB data that was made via LRGB (must be non-linear data for LRGB combo) and run it via Normalization, SHO mode would normalize to the green channel and HSO mode would normalize to the Red channel. Does that make sense?
