FWIW, it’s *because* you go on long and follow tangents that I value your videos more so much…. Cheers, Scott

FWIW, I tried something of the reverse with the Bubble nebula. The Ha integration had far more detail than the luminance, but i thought maybe I could give it a boost by creating a superlum of all channels (I was also a little desperate to use the lu…

FWIW, I just noticed that the file name and identifier (Rosette) in the screenshot don't match the file on the OP's Google drive. Adam, I didn't do anything with the advanced settings to get IS to work (not error) on a non-linear image, but if the s…

FWIW, ImageSolver works for me on both non-linear and TIF files if I set the coordinates (using the search function) and image scale info manually. I believe the problem here is that the coordinates (in the screenshot) are wrong. ImageSolver failed …

I agree. Depending how the image is looking, I might apply a small amount of NXT after the first or second stretch iteration (using GHS) and a (sometimes second) application after I'm done stretching, but before further processing. Again depending, …

Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that I shoot Lum’s during more optimal seeing conditions for better sampling, I do it that way to improve (in theory...) detail resolution. In real numbers, my best seeing gives me around 2.5” fwhm’s and when average, 3.2…
-
FWIW, I have a similar setup, 2350FL and 268M plus poor seeing, so oversampled by a factor of 2 or more, but recently I compared processing of binned and non-binned data, and decided non-binned was better. Also, because my seeing is poor and variabl…

FWIW, I tried both ways with my current target, SH2-115, and the all subs integration had a marginally better SNR measurement (Pixinsight, SNR script), but the masters integration had slightly better resolution (fwhm) and 'looked ' better overall, a…

Thanks again Adam!
-
Thanks Adam! Is there a weight option you'd recommend for the masters? I compared masters vs subs one time in the past and ended up choosing the masters integration, but not sure the integration settings were optimal and possibly other factors were …

You could add a bunch of saturation if you really want to impress!……: ) Back when I had a $4,000 printer (inherited from my business when we stopped using it) I really preferred doing my own (terrestrial at the time) and would do it now, but appare…

Maybe here’s the review you’re looking for? https://www.mattpaynephotography.com/page/best-photography-print-labs/ I tried Nevada Art Printer and was pretty happy with both acrylic and print tests of M51, though like you said Linwood, the backgroun…

Thanks for the feedback on both points!! In addition to affecting color balance, could compressed data throw off background measurements used by other processes? Cheers, Scott

AB: "In addition, the color image needs to show all color well..but does not necessarily need to be a high contrast result. The contrast comes from the luminance. " I thought in one of the Fundamentals videos you recommend giving the RGB image a lo…
-
Thanks again! That's all as I thought, and have been doing, but when I noticed the Set Reference option for the first time, I started overthinking things..... Cheers, Scott
-
Thanks Adam! For Local Normalization, I usually use an integration (10 best) as opposed to a single image. Is it also appropriate to use an integration as the reference image for ImageIntegration? Cheers,Scott

For me, shooting Ha to blend with LRGB is more just an excuse to image when the moon is out. : ) Anyhow, a (very red) target where I found Ha worked better as the luminance is IC 63. Cheers,Scott
