Great tutorial thanks for sharing. The black point using GHS and HistogramTransformation examples made a whole new difference, thanks for the explanation!
Thanks for this! I wasn't going to shoot M31 this year because I've done it for the last five years in a row. I've always had an issue processing. I'll give it another shot using this tutorial!
Starting to fall deeper in this hole lol. JUST purchased a whole setup. Redcat 51/ ASI585pro / ASIair / EAF/ Skywatcher GTi... I'm gonna need more tutorials mate! Thanks again.
Great tutorial as always. Since you cropped the image any plate solving WBPP does would have been lost regardless, so solving the image again would still be necessary for SPCC to work. 😊 Clear skies mate!
Good tutorial on pumping up the colors. There are sooo many wonderful tools in Pixinsight along with Bill Blanshan's "X" tools to produce amazing final images. For my personal touch, I prefer a bit less saturation in that final image, but that's just me.
Excellent tutorial, I have tried to process my take on M31 and could not quite get it right, now I know why, thankyou for simplifying the process into mortal persons understanding on using Pixinsight.
Excellent video and great result ! As a broad band target, I wonder if you use any filter on your camera like UV /IR ? or you went with your sensor fully naked ? Thanks for sharing
Thanks mate!! hope you've had a cracking time at Kelling Heath, that's superb! :-) Clear skies to you! (we're both doing well by the way! hope the same for you and Nicky :-) )

Ooooh wonderful. I just shooted it two days ago on one of the very few nights we have here in northem France. And I was not happy of my Processing.
Nice demo! I'd like to see how to add in Ha data to your visible image, as taken from a dual band (eg L-eXtreme) filter. There are too many methods I've tried that just don't work for me.
Hey Richard! - I hear you there mate, it can be a minefield trying to get that done effectively! if I get some data which is applicable to the problem I'll try and make a tutorial for it someday, thanks!
Nice one Luke just trialling pi , not as hard as people say using scripts from seti etc don’t get me wrong there is a learning curve but end up with a reasonable image at the end I will try yours when I get a minute
@@lukomatico There are some useful tools like: Blemish Blaster, Halo-B-Gon and FAME (Freehand Adaptive Mask Editor), to name a few. I use your workflow, but sometimes the Seti tools can add some extra help.
Hi Luke, I have been trying to find the link to Bill's HT stretched linked RGB wiithout success. I found the "unlinked" scripts but not the script you used in this video. Can you kindly point me in the right direction please.
So sorry about the late reply to this, your comment just appeared today for me even though I see it's days old! Did you download the tools from my video description yet? That should have them for you if I recall correctly :-)
Hey mate! I tested a while back and found that APP delivered a smoother result, likely due to settings differences but as I couldn't pin down exactly what was making pix & app different I just stuck with what worked best for me! :-)
Great tutorial, I was just working on M31 from my own data... however, where can I get the pixel math for the starless_for_SCREENING, stars_for_SCREENING and RESCREEN_starless_stars_V1? please! never mind, I downloaded your data and see that you included all the icons too! Thank you for that!
Thanks mate! - these days I (generally speaking) like to stretch both at the same time, with a final removal of stars for some tweaks being possible - I think there's valid arguments both ways though, it's just how I do things :-D Clear skies mate!
@@lukomatico to each their own of course. I find removing the stars gives me the ability to stretch them slightly less than the main 'subject' of my image. It also helps to retain star colour. But it's all personal preference at the end of the day :)
Great tutorial thanks for sharing. The black point using GHS and HistogramTransformation examples made a whole new difference, thanks for the explanation!
Excellent to hear that!! :-) So glad they were worthwhile inclusions to the video!
Thanks for watching & clear skies!

I'll give it another shot using this tutorial!
Awesome stuff Bill, I really hope you get the shot you're looking for mate!!
Excellent and thanks, Luke. I like these tutorials as they suit my learning style. Clear skies!
Great to hear that my friend!! Clear skies to you :-)
Thanks Luke - greatly appreciate all you hard work to produce these videos for us.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching mate!
Starting to fall deeper in this hole lol. JUST purchased a whole setup. Redcat 51/ ASI585pro / ASIair / EAF/ Skywatcher GTi... I'm gonna need more tutorials mate! Thanks again.
Congratulations mate!! Certainly more tutorials on the way :-D
Very useful, have my on m31 data taken with LRGB, which I'd like to add some narrow band data in future, so will give it a go.
Superb tutorial, thanks a bunch! I will definitely try out the stretch tool you used.
Have fun mate!! it's pretty effective! :-D
Great tutorial as always. Since you cropped the image any plate solving WBPP does would have been lost regardless, so solving the image again would still be necessary for SPCC to work. 😊
Clear skies mate!
Thanks mate!! - That's true aye, also the same applies if someone used the 'autocrop' output from WBPP too :-D Good call!!
Clear skies buddy!!

Thank you so much for the feedback Pat!! I really appreciate it mate :-) hope you're doing well!!
Great tutorial Luke. Very helpful. Thanks for the hints on using GHS! Dr B from Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much for watching Dr. B! Hope you are well my friend :-)
Excellent tutorial, I have tried to process my take on M31 and could not quite get it right, now I know why, thankyou for simplifying the process into mortal persons understanding on using Pixinsight.
So glad this was useful for you Steve!! - Clear skies mate!
Excellent video and great result ! As a broad band target, I wonder if you use any filter on your camera like UV /IR ? or you went with your sensor fully naked ? Thanks for sharing
Hey mate! This was taken with just the standard sensor cover glass which does block UV/ir 👍 no additional filters used
Thank you for watching!!
Hi Luke great video as always mate
Thanks so much Sean!! - Clear skies bud! :-)
Excellent Luke, I do love a nice M31.
Thank you Pete mate!! - I'm happy with how this turned out! :-D
Nice tutorial and edit Luke.
Thanks so much matey!! that means a lot!
Great tutorial luke, thanks for shareing mate
My pleasure! Thanks for watching Tony mate!
excellent tutorial again Luke!
Thanks so much mate!!
Simply the best tutorials. ❤ these
So happy to hear that! Clear skies my friend! :-)
Great and simple tutorial, thank you so much!
You're very welcome my friend! - thanks for watching!!
Great tutorial mate I'm on my 3rd night on this target at Kelling so dunno how my version will turn out like.
Hope you're all well clear skies

Yes please!
Thanks for the Tutorial. If you capture a set of images using a Dual Narrowband filter can you add Ha to it and if so how would you process it?
Nice one Luke just trialling pi , not as hard as people say using scripts from seti etc don’t get me wrong there is a learning curve but end up with a reasonable image at the end I will try yours when I get a minute
Excellent stuff mate, glad to hear you're having a go with Pix!! Good luck!
Luke, can I ask why you don't use Seti Astro Tools?
I just haven't found the need to alter my workflow, but maybe I'm missing something! - what do you feel they would add to it?
Clear skies!

can you supply , camera Pix size.. scope FL , images scale ... APP does not provide that info... thanks Luke
Hey mate!
600mm f/L, 3.76um pixels - from those it'll get the image scale and be able to solve :-)
@@lukomatico thank you sir.
Hi Luke....why don't you use PI fur stacking?

Sorry about the late reply mate! - glad you found the solution though, excellent! :-) Thanks for watching and clear skies!
Have a try of Seti Astro's blind plate solver script, it plate solves it then you can use image solver to finish the job
I really ought to try the tools mate! I've just not gotten round to it yet!
Interesting there's no star removal prior to stretching and working on the galaxy. Nice processing though.

Do you have a discord community? Would love some feedback, I'm struggling a bit with the colors on mine.
I cannot find HT_Stretch
AH , ANOTHER MALE PODCASTER WITH THE PROVERBIAL GUITAR IN SHOT" there are so many what are they trying to say.
What are you on about mate?
Nowadays every tutorial is like this 1. open image, 2. apply bxt 3. profit. Nothing new or non repeating
What would you like a tutorial to look like mate? This is exactly how I process, so that's what I show!
