Having been given “the day off” from looking after our new arrival, I have just spent the entire day doing astro related stuff… its been awesome \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, one of the things on my to-do list was to spend to more time processing my Rosette data from a while back, taking on board the various comments that have been made about it. Just finished 4 hours of playing with this, and included the following improvements:<\/p>\n

– better contrast in the rosette itself
\n– less “salmon pink”, more red
\n– removed the cyan halos aorund the stars in the left of the image
\n– added a tiny amount of the Ha into the blue channel (about 12% looked about right)<\/p>\n

Also took on board some of the items covered at the SGL Imaging day, specifically the keeping color saturation without losing detail, and the Shadow\/Highlight tool, plus managed to get a good star reduction on the image.<\/p>\n

So, here we go….<\/p>\n
