I see (not the analogy as I have had plenty of tension between a pliers and a wrench at times, LOL). I just took one of my old images and started over with the linear Ha and OIII and used the colour mapper along with my other steps prior to using G…
OK- it sort of is. I understand using SXT and BXT in linear as that is what I do now as well as several other steps. My answer is really in your second paragraph- "there isn't any". That is what I thought.
As far as challenge, it is more of confu…
I will be curious to see them, Adam. I have been doing NB imaging for a long time and the current approaches and tools (like the newer version of CM script) work really well.

When I tried the fix you told me it worked immediately. Thanks. I also just saw your short video on: SPCC Not Enough Samples Error. Nicely done. I think what would have helped me immensely to understand the problem would have been how the er…
Thanks so much, Adam. I can make that adjustment but I think such a short video would be very helpful for me and others on a couple levels.
1- to point out this error, which I've never seen since using SPCC, and I have been using it (albeit not tha…
Here are G drive links to download a fit file of each RGB image

Finally, here is what the RGB image looks like when I begin to stretch it after channel combination and the SPCC failure. The channels never combine- there is a clear separation. I have never seen this.
One more screen shot to show that Image Solver works but SPCC gives the error again. Doesn't make sense as I ran another old data set and it works fine. I then re-uploaded my original M104 data and re-did WBPP but got the same error. What is even…
ahh.....correct! I was looking at the video called, "Insert RGB Stars in Narrowband Image", where you were working with someone's Elephant Trunk data. I just watched the Rosette video and now it all makes sense and is exactly what I want to do.
I…
Hi Adam
I rewatched your video on inserting RGB stars into a NB image and I can say without hesitation that I am thoroughly confused. I understand what you did, but I did not see you use StarXterminator (SXT) to remove the stars from the NB image. …
The specific request is how to add RGB stars to a starless NB image. Not to add RGB stars to a NB image which has SHO or HOO-like stars.
If anyone has a successful approach, I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks
I just ran my full dataset again, only changing the gradient smoothness to +4 as John suggested. NSG ran perfectly, at least in my case. Hopefully, as more test data roll in, John can isolate the problem and make the fix.
Quick update: I am still testing this issue at John's request. He asked I lower the number of cores being used on my desktop to use NSG. I have a 32-core desktop and he asked I lower it to 8. I did so and ran my large dataset and it worked. I a…
I tried an approach that helped a lot but not perfect. I created a star mask, used convolution to smooth it a bit, then used HDRM to remove most of the glow. Then, I used CloneStamp to make it better. I am not sure if that is really a good approa…
