COURSE: WORKFLOW EXAMPLES
This is an edited version of the current WORKFLOW section of Fundamentals. On the new site this will be a COURSE called Workflow Examples and it will be available for a certain price as a stand alone... or as part of a package/bundled.

"I am one of your Fundamentals subscribers and have just finished working on the M42 processing tutorial. I have never been satisfied with my attempts multi-exposure HDR imaging of Orion, but am now happy with the result I attained after following your tutorial." -member of AdamBlockStudios
TOPIC: M13 Globular Cluster (OSC)
Video Lessons:
Published in mid 2022. This is an excellent video showing the treatment of non-Adam-data (OSC). A solid tutorial. It could be augmented with BlurXTerminator today.
This data set is courtesy KVAstronomy.com . Taken from Bortle 4-5 skies using an OSC sensor with short (120sec) exposures with a 700mm focal length telescope.
| Part 1 : WBPP | 17 minutes | Download the Data |
| Part 2 : Local Normalization | 20 minutes | |
| Part 3 : DBE and PCC | 23 minutes | |
| Part 4 : Deconvolution | 39 minutes | |
| Part 5 : Following Two LRGB Paths to Final Result | 40 minutes |
TOPIC: M51 and Continuum Subtraction
This is an excellent standard treatment of galaxy data. The data is courtesy of Keith Allred. (i.e. non-Adam-data).
This is an LRGB + Ha processing example.
This is a solid processing example of customer data just before the advent of BlurXTerminator (not used here!). This features Ha Continuum Subtraction as well.
| Part 1: WBPP and Configuration | 15 minutes |
