Great video mate. I just couldn’t work out why previews weren’t working in my script so I took your awesome Statistical Stretch script and switched out your code for mine. I clearly accidentally deleted some critical bit in mine somewhere and it was easier to just switch my code into yours. I love how your What’s in My Image script makes looking at all those little gems within the larger image so easy.

Hi - I tried this process on an image using 2 x dual band filters. I achieved the 3 channels using DB Extract before doing Star X and then ‘NB to RGB Stars’. Unfortunately the results were not very good, with or without Sii, with very uneven star colouration. I tried different strengths with the sliders. Maybe this is something that is not possible to do or there is a better way to split the channels? I can get acceptable results using just the Ha/Oiii image, enabling your dual band option, so should I just stick with that?
@setiv23 күн бұрын
Ahh dont do DBExtract first. I think that is the issue with the stars. Extract ur stars first before DBExtract, then try the NBtoRGBstars script.
@sarahjanereilly93353 күн бұрын
Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion with similar results. To clarify - starting point was 2 master lights (Ha/Oiii and Sii/Oiii). Step 1. StarX - both images. Step 2. DB Extract on Stars only images. Step 3. NB to RGB stars (only using Ha and Oiii stars). Pulled back the stretch sliders from default. Outcome is mixed colour stars. I consider myself to be very much a learner in these matters, so it is likely that I am missing something obvious😢. Thanks for your patience.

I have just updated my repository with all your scripts and have quite a bit of data to experiment with. I have an OSC camera with 2 x NB filters (Ha/Oiii and Sii/Oiii) and using DBExtract to get to RGB (with an optional SHO image). Would you recommend using this script on the individual RGB images, or after recombination to SHO? Many thanks for all you do.
@setiv24 күн бұрын
You would use this at anyplace in your workflow where you go from linear to nonlinear. This should be your first stretch. Usually you stretch the RGB data seperately from your NB data prior to combining them
