OMG! - I'm having a starstruck moment! 🤩 Reading that has absolutely made my whole week Trevor, thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment, you've been such a huge inspiration to me for an awfully long time now, without this getting overly long and taking up your time, I just wanted to say thank you!! I'd love to see your result from it if that was possible! :) Thanks again, and Clear Skies! Luke
OMG, this was amazing viewing the whole process. I can't believer this is on a OSC frame. Everyone has been telling me to go the Mono way, but now I am sticking to OSC, practice and practise and practice with OSC. Superb. Thank you so much of this video. I am totally blown away.
This was a phenomenal tutorial! I have always just figured that my data were no good when I could never end up with results like I see on other astrophotographers' pages, but now I see it's just a matter of getting better at using PI. You have shown me how to use quite a few tools that I never dared to touch before--very very helpful indeed!!
I don't have Pixinsight yet, but I just started using a cooled camera and have been wanting to try the simulated Hubble palette. This helped me feel a lot less intimidated at the thought of starting a Pixinsight trial, so I'll be coming back to work through this once my Sharpstar 61edph iii arrives and I'm able to capture some solid data!
Hello Luke. Recently shot the wall using the same filter and this tutorial is exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait to try it out. And to answer your question, yes, absolutely the slower pace is much preferred. At times it is very hard to tell where the mouse cursor is at so we need a little time to keep up with you. After all we are here to learn and we cannot do that if we miss steps or got lost because things were moving along too fast. Thanks for doing this.
Outstanding video Luke. I think the pace of the tutorial was absolutely spot on with clear and concise explanation of all your steps. Thank you for all the effort you must be putting in to create such amazing content. 👏
Wow Paul! - that's absolutely awesome feedback mate!! :) I'm so glad to hear it was clear and digestible 👍👍 Thank you again for watching, I really appreciate your time :)
Great tutorial. Well paced and easy to follow. Used it to process my first ever nebula photo this weekend. Also NGC7000. Keep up the great work. Fantastic channel.
Wow! This is one of the best tutorials I have watched. The work flow was clearly explained and done at a rate that was easy to follow. The results speak for themselves. I will definately give this a go next season, thanks.....
That's wonderful Gary, thanks a lot! It's brilliant to hear that you found the pacing to be a reasonable rate as that was one of my main worries! :) Thanks very much for watching mate!
I have now watched every video you have put out. I was actually able to get processing in PixInsight because of this one! Thanks for all your content!!
Oh wow Walter!! That's incredible to hear, I just want to say a huge thank you for all your support my friend, and I'm very happy you've found some use in my videos! :-) All the best, Luke
Just tried your technique on one of my photos and I love the resulting image. Brilliant technique and beautifully explained. Thanks. You just gained yourself a subscriber!
Awesome Man!! The Starless Version of The Cygnus Region is SO Epic!! Excellent Depth tutorial!!👍 Speaking of hubble Style Photos: Congrats On Being In the APOD..!! Thats a Stunning Photo!! Clear Skies
Thank you so much mate!! - I like the starless one too, I thought it worth showing for a moment after you mentioned it before :D 👍👍 Thank you for your time mate, I appreciate all the support you've given! :)
I'm glad it was helpful Ollie, I'm sure you'll end up over here in PixInsight -land at some point! :) the amount of tools on offer is extraordinary! Thank you very much for watching bud! :)
I was pointed to this excellent tutorial mostly by serendipity and thank goodness and thank you - a really great bit of demystifying! I've been using standard colour processing of my OSC/L-eXtreme images in APP and StarTools until now, but you've really inspired me to breakout my PI license once again.
That's awesome to hear Ed! I wish you every success with your new processing ventures in PixInsight!! - thanks so much for dropping a comment here to let me know you enjoyed the video, I greatly appreciate it! :-) Clear skies!
What a great tutorial you got there! This helps me getting better at PI, again! It is all about learning and getting more familiar with the software. Thank you so much for this!
Great video Luke. I’ve just tried it in my Elephant’s Trunk nebula and it came out great for a first attempt. Great channel too - I never knew you could touch the screen on your target and tell the mount to centre it through the ASIair before. And you’re a Yorkshireman too!
Hey there James! That's brilliant, I'm glad you got the tutorial to work for you and ended up with a great result! 👍👍 On the note of the screen-touch goto trick, it's pretty useful for sure! :-) And aye, you've got me! - a proud Yorkshireman 😁 Thanks for watching mate!
Heya mate! - Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you liked the tutorial! - it really does open up a lot of possibilities when imaging with OSC+dual narrowband filters :-) Have a great day mate!
THIS is what I have been trying to figure out how to do. Being very new to astrophotography and using pixinsight I knew there had to be a way to bring out the blue. I finally did it with your help. Thank you very much for this tutorial, I loved it !
Hey mate! - you are most welcome indeed, I'm so happy to hear you found the video useful! :-) Thank you for your kind words my friend! Clear skies! Luke
Exactly the video we needed. I got bored with L-Extreme dual narrowband colored nebula, now I can finally get excited about SHO without having to run the mono+filter set-up. Thank you!
That's great to hear Noddy! - it's a difficult program at first, and quite expensive! but once you start getting the hang of it, it's a lovely program to use! Thanks for watching mate!
@@lukomatico At first?? 🤣 I’ve had it for a while now and treated myself last Christmas to Rogelio Bernal Andreo’s excellent Mastering Pixinsight. Unfortunately I’ve not had the time to dedicate to processing at the moment, so having someone like yourself provide these kinds of overviews that can be easily followed makes a huge difference to being able to produce a decent image. Onwards and upwards!! 👍🏻 Noddy
Thank you mate! - that's lovely to hear! No doubt a proper book is a good investment for a monster of a program like this, but I'm glad you still find value in short(ish) video tutorials like mine! :) that's very flattering, thank you!
Great tutorial. I just reprocessed my image of the North American Nebula shot with a ZWO ASI2600MC Pro and an Optolong L-Extereme filter. It came out great! This is awesome.
I just followed this tutorial on my existing data (Pelican and North America) and I'm very happy with my end result! Up until now I wasn't very happy with my end result, but your suggestion of using the Correct Magenta Stars script salvaged my image. Thanks a lot for sharing your work flow Luke!
Hey there!! - Ahh that's brilliant to hear, I'm so happy for you! :-) Thank you very much indeed for trying out the tutorial and leaving a comment for me, I appreciate it mate!! Clear skies :-)
Hey there Simon! - I'm thankful for your support mate, I know you mentioned you don't use PixInsight yourself just yet so the fact you'd watch anyway is absolutely awesome :)!! I hope that it was still entertaining for you! Thanks very much mate :) Luke
@@lukomatico That’s no prob Luke. I watch your Chanel because I love the images you produce mate! Also I’m hoping to pick up some tips, as you use the same camera as me plus ‘when’ my 120 arrives, I’m relying on you to steer me in the right direction 😀👍
@@lukomatico Hey Luke! Great tutorial thanks, I did follow along ok, had one little niggle where EZ Denoise wouldnt work for me, (the Run bar at the bottom was greyed out!) but other than that, I got the jist of it! I just need some practice! Im not sure Pixinsight likes my data though! Photoshop doesnt have this problem, but when I load my image into Pixinsight (stacked from DSS), it appears extremely noisy, to the point of being almost pixelated! I can never seem to get rid of it all! But never mind, I just need more practice, probably me not doing something right! Well explained tutorial Luke, many thanks!
@@SimonsAstro Hey Simon! On the TGV settings tab in EZ denoise, make sure 'run tgvdenoise' is selected :-) that should fix it! The noisy data thing can just be not enough data, high cloud, maybe some stacking settings even! - it can be a minefield but personally I'd only bother going rooting around in settings etc if it's every time you take data :-) Clear skies mate!
My struggle is finally over for the Hubble Palette😅. Thank you so much for making this video, I really appreciate it. Not only did I learn how to get the Hubble palette I also learned how to use pixinsight. Thank you 🙏
I use separate filters so this was a really interesting watch to see how you get the colours from a one shot. Thanks for sharing...my workflow is similar!
Absolutely amazing, thank you! Even worked really well with my H-alpha modded DSLR images. Well, time to go back through the catalog and reedit all the images :D
Thanks Luke! I used the process last night on a rough test shot I had of The Bubble from last Summer. Just to get started. Before I take some wide field shots this year with a new Hyperstar. As you know the Bubble is mostly all red in a OSC, but your process makes it much more appealing! CS!
Hey mate that's brilliant to hear! :D I'm so happy you were able to use and apply the techniques to a totally different target, that's awesome 👍👍 Thanks so much for the lovely comment :) Clear skies!!
Wow! Another great tutorial. So glad I invested in Pixinsight about 6 months ago. I am finally getting comfortable with it and I had no problem following your vid. Learned lots! But..... Still on the edge with false colour images/Hubble Pallet etc.. Not sure if I'm in that camp yet but your image is one that might make me switch. Cheers!
Hey there Mike! - That's great feedback mate, I'm very happy to hear it was easy to follow :) I hear you 100% regarding colour choices, it's a personal thing, and also perhaps a per-target thing too, undoubtedly the Cygnus wall came out strikingly with the colour choices, but a "normal" red approach would have changed the mood of the image totally :) - both valid approaches in my view! Thank you for watching mate :)!
Thanks so much Luke! Purchased Pixinsight a couple of months ago but hey couldn't get anywhere lol! Last night capture of North American Nebula and Pelican Nebula with my Celestron Evolution 8HD Edge with Hyperstar processed with your outstanding help! Fantastic thanks. Look forward to your RASA images! Cheers Rich
That's brilliant mate!! Really chuffed to hear the video has helped! :-D I bet the hyperstar was a superb match for that region too 👍 Clear skies my friend!
Just downloaded the PixInsight 45 day trial and going to have a go at this tomorrow as a complete noob... SO helpful and the pace was just about right for this 50 year old. Wish I had two monitors so I could run this video and PI side by side!! Greetings from Derby btw :-)
That's great to hear mate! I'm sure you'll get to grips with it in no time, just keep processing data over and again during that trial and see where it takes you! :-) Hope the skies are being kind in Derby mate!! they certainly aren't up here, haha! :-D
That was excellent mate! Great pace and really easy to follow. I don't do it the same way as I use APP. I tried a trial version of PI when I started AP a year ago which was not a good idea when you are trying to figure out which end of the telescope to use. After seeing this I think I will have to invest in PI as there is functionality like Pixelmath and starnet, which you can use as standalone but its integrated into PI which is very useful. Great job and thanks. CS Brad
Hey Brad! - that's great feedback to hear mate, thank you! :) I 100% understand about pixinsight being a bit much when you are just starting out, I dare not attempt it for about 5 years I guess!! :D That said, now I'm used to it, there's really no going back! Processing in it has become a pleasure now :) Thank you so much for watching Bradley!
My. This helps tremendously! I don't have to make a mask to shrink stars when they're separated from the main object. Being able to adjust the main object without having to segregate the stars with a mask just makes things faster! Thanks so much for this tutorial!
Hey there mate! - I so glad you've found it useful, I know that Starnet made a huge difference to my processing once I'd gotten used to it! :-) Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment, I really do appreciate your support!
Hey there Michael! - I'm glad you liked the tutorial, and the little bits of supplementary text! :D I hope it was useful in some way :) Thanks for watching!
Hi Luke, a great tutorial and what a lovely image. Having never processed any imaging before, I don't know how I will remember all this stuff once I come to try it for myself. May have to try and replicate yours and follow step by step. I now have all my gear unfortunately still all boxed as now have 10 weeks of night shifts. Again many thanks for this tutorial, they go a long way with understanding how it all works. As mentioned by another, think you are the UKs answer to Astrobackyard.
Hey there Paul! :) That's really flattering to hear haha, the Astrobackyard of the UK, brilliant! 😁 I love to watch Trevor's videos! Regarding processing, it will definitely seem quite daunting now, but after a bit of practice it'll all start to fall into place! :) It's a good idea to follow mine or others, step by step as you mentioned, you'll start to familiarise yourself with it in no time 👍👍 I hope your shifts pass swiftly and you can get your gear unboxed and start having some fun! All the best mate, and good luck
Hey Martin! - It's a slippery slope haha, I do think PixInsight is the #1 processing software out there - which it should be given the cost of entry! , but that certainly does not invalidate other approaches, as you have proved with your own beautiful images mate :) Thank you for watching!
This an absolutely amazing tutorial, I've never touched pixinsight before and was able to follow along with a little goggling and produce a great image! Thanks so much, please keep putting out content like this!
That's brilliant to hear Trevor!! I'm very happy to hear you were able to follow along and create something nice! :-) Thank you so much for watching! 👍👍
Hey Chris! - I hope some of things shown in here are transferable skills/ideas across programs, I haven't tried out affinity but I'm sure there's a way to do it! :) Thanks for watching!
Hey mate! - I'm glad we're on the same page haha! :D Starless images are pretty, but I do prefer generally to see the little stars there in the image too, as they should be! Thanks very much for watching mate! :)
I think the pace was good Luke, as you say it's fairly involved and those with fast brains can always put the video speed up to 1.25x if they wish :D Levels and curves are about my limit usually hence I'll stick with GIMP, but You're a good teacher that's for sure! : )
Hey Chris! - thank you so much for watching mate - I'm glad the pacing was okay, it feels like a bit of a balancing act between giving too much explanation and potentially losing people's interest due to it taking too long, or too little info leaving it feeling incomplete, but fast! I hugely appreciate your time mate, thank you for giving it a watch and leaving your thoughts! :) Clear skies, Luke
Thank you for this - I feel like my PI workflow just took a quantum leap with channel separation and starnet which I've tried in the past with limited success. I've been taking many extra steps in BN, ABE and Color Calibration based on other sources, that I now know I needn't. Now to go back and reprocess many nebulae, gulp!
Ah, that's a lovely thing to hear Jim - I'm so happy it's helped you out mate! :) Wishing you luck with clear skies, and the energy to reprocess your old nebulae data! :D All the best, Luke
Heya Mike! - I hope the skies are being kind to you mate, it's been bad here! I'm glad to hear we landed on a similar approach, that's quite cool haha! :-) Thank you for watching, and best regards! Luke
Brilliant as always Luke. I've just followed each step on my image of the Fighting Dragons of Ara and I'm VERY happy. For a beginner not only with astrophotography but also Pixinsight the pace and content suited me down to the ground. Thanks mate.
That's just wonderful to hear Pete, thank you for sharing that my friend! :-) I really couldn't hope to get better feedback! Thank you for your support!!
I’ve watched this twice now. Gonna watch it one more time later today when I attempt to execute these steps on data I just captured a few days ago. Fantastic tutorial Luke and your final image is absolutely amazing! Subscribed and liked!
Hey Kamil! That is awesome to hear, I really am glad to hear that you'll be having a go with some of your data, I hope you end up with a nice result mate! Thank you so much for your support by the way, that's fantastic of you! 👍👍 Clear skies and good luck with the process :-)
Thank you for this! I'm sure I'll watch it several more times as I am just starting to learn Pixinsight. I thought the pace of the video was great and you did a fantastic job of explaining what you were doing along the way.
Hey matey! - Aw thank you! that's amazing feedback, I really do appreciate it :-) I hope you enjoy the learning curve of PixInsight, it's all time well spent in my opinion as it's simply unrivaled at processing astro images I think! :-)
I was able to get some 5 hours of RASA 8 data on this target and followed your tutorial. Was able to get those colors "mostly" similar. I did notice that, right from the stacked, raw images, your data was just better. Sharper and less gradient. Strange, you also live under Bortle 7 like me, and we used the same camera and filters. Perhaps it was just a night of poor seeing in my driveway. I would guess that my rig is "seeing limited" about 99.5% of the time. I may have to finally make the 2 hour drive to a place west of me to camp under significantly darker skies. 2 hours isn't bad compared to the 8 hours I recently drove to the dynamically dark skies (where I was rewarded with 3 nights of solid cloud cover). Thanks again for excellent tutorial. You used a couple of techniques and processes that I wasn't familiar with, so I will watch it again next time to try and remember the work flow.
Hey there Paul! That's very interesting to hear, I do have some idea what could be causing the difference between our data, you might want to have a look into narrowband spectrum shift, because your system is f2 it will certainly be affected by this phenomena with the l-extreme filter - that's what I'd say is going on mate! I'm glad to hear you were able to follow along with the tutorial and learn a couple of things, that's absolutely awesome to hear! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience mate, it's much appreciated! 👍👍 Clear skies
@@lukomatico You might be correct about that. The L-extreme was initially touted to be great for fast systems. But a number of people with RASAs are doubting it and saying they are not getting great results. The extreme may cause band shift with the pass too narrow. They are switching to the NBZ filter. I may do that too, but the NBZ is only made in MM sizes. My Starizona filter holder accommodates a mounted 2 inch filter, so not sure what will work. Thanks for response!
@@paulwilson8367 Hey Paul! - as far as I know the optolong l-enhance works well with f2, better than the l-extreme apparently for fast systems- I have no experience with the NBZ filter but IDAS make great stuff so no doubt it'll be a good option 👍👍 It's a bit of a shame to have to mess about like that isn't it :( All the best mate, Clear skies 👍👍
@@lukomatico I sold my l-extreme yesterday in about 5 minutes. That pays for the NBZ. Still have the L-eNhance for now. Also will consider the upcoming Baader NBs for my mono camera, but more money involved there. I would really like to at least see what my equipment could do under optimum conditions. Those would not be found in my driveway, ha.
Once in awhile, a video really speaks to me... this is DEFINITELY one of those times. I can't thank you enough for sharing your time and expertise. This is a very well done lesson - thank you.
This was a fantastic tutorial. The information was great, but as important, so was the pacing and the explanations of why you were doing what you were doing. Easy to follow and understand and really helpful for someone who is new to PI to really get a feel for how to use the different tools and how the apply them. I have been looking for a clear explanation of how to do SHO with OSC data and this was it! Thanks for taking the time to put it together!
Hey Astro LA! - what wonderful feedback mate, I couldn't imagine hearing anything nicer! :) I'm really happy you have enjoyed the tutorial, thank you so much for trying it out and taking the time to share such a lovely comment! Clear skies 👍👍
Thank you so so much for this. Just brilliant. The workflow and the pace of the video was just perfect for a beginner like me. Learnt so many new things.
Great video! Great processing in PI. I have this same camera and the same filter, so this is gonna be something I try as soon as there are some nebulae and no clouds! I am curious what your sky is like. I have heavy LP and usually ABE doesn't work for me. Also, some experienced AP'ers report that EZ DeNoise doesn't work so well for them linear due to abundance of LP. I will most certainly give it a go. Thanks so much!
Heya Paul! - I hope the tutorial serves you well when the skies clear :) - regarding my sky, it's Bortle 7 here in Castleford re: processing, I often find ABE is a bit overzealous with default settings, but definitely sky gradients are easier to deal with on a long-ish focal length scope like the Esprit 120. - RE: EZ DeNoise - I've been lucky so far, it's always been great for me! :D - I've not tried it out in a nonlinear state yet, that could be interesting!, I know the tool it relies on, TGVdenoise works best with linear data, but, I'm all for experimenting with different ways to use tools! Thanks so much for leaving a comment mate, I appreciate it!
@@lukomatico I have seen hundreds of videos and searched and searched how to do this, and yours was just spot on, I only wish i could show you the result
That's so amazing to hear mate, you could message me or link me the result on my Instagram if possible! It's in the video description :) I'd love to see what you got!
@@lukomatico I used it for the first time yesterday and had your video going while I processed and it was very easy to follow (stopping often, obviously). Pretty cool results!
Just spent my Saturday morning with this tutorial and a big cup of coffee. Outstanding work, Luke!
OMG! - I'm having a starstruck moment! 🤩

Great video Luke. I’ve just tried it in my Elephant’s Trunk nebula and it came out great for a first attempt.
Great channel too - I never knew you could touch the screen on your target and tell the mount to centre it through the ASIair before.
And you’re a Yorkshireman too!
Hey there James! That's brilliant, I'm glad you got the tutorial to work for you and ended up with a great result! 👍👍
On the note of the screen-touch goto trick, it's pretty useful for sure! :-)

Thanks for watching mate!
Wow! Absolutely wow! I found a golden gem of a tutorial. Hubble effect seems majestic on OSC images. Thanks very much Luke.
Heya mate! - Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you liked the tutorial! - it really does open up a lot of possibilities when imaging with OSC+dual narrowband filters :-)
Have a great day mate!
@@lukomatico thanks! Same to you
THIS is what I have been trying to figure out how to do. Being very new to astrophotography and using pixinsight I knew there had to be a way to bring out the blue. I finally did it with your help. Thank you very much for this tutorial, I loved it !
Hey mate! - you are most welcome indeed, I'm so happy to hear you found the video useful! :-)
Thank you for your kind words my friend!
Clear skies!
Luke
Exactly the video we needed. I got bored with L-Extreme dual narrowband colored nebula, now I can finally get excited about SHO without having to run the mono+filter set-up.
Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks so much for the great comment mate :-D
Great video tutorial and set at a great relaxing pace. 👍
Thank you very much Steve! :-)
Clear skies!
Excellent tutorial Luke. Definitely a good pace - not too fast, not too slow. You could say a tutorial in the Goldilocks zone 😁
Brilliant Logan :D - Thanks so much mate, it's good to hear I didn't have it drag on too long!
Thank you for watching!
Superb tutorial Luke. I’ve watched a few similar ones but this is the one that’s finally made me think about having a proper go! 👍🏻 Noddy
That's great to hear Noddy! - it's a difficult program at first, and quite expensive! but once you start getting the hang of it, it's a lovely program to use!
Thanks for watching mate!
@@lukomatico At first?? 🤣 I’ve had it for a while now and treated myself last Christmas to Rogelio Bernal Andreo’s excellent Mastering Pixinsight. Unfortunately I’ve not had the time to dedicate to processing at the moment, so having someone like yourself provide these kinds of overviews that can be easily followed makes a huge difference to being able to produce a decent image. Onwards and upwards!! 👍🏻 Noddy
Thank you mate! - that's lovely to hear!
No doubt a proper book is a good investment for a monster of a program like this, but I'm glad you still find value in short(ish) video tutorials like mine! :) that's very flattering, thank you!
Very well done. Lots of good info. Thank you very much!
I'm really glad you liked it! - thank you so much for watching :-) 👍👍
Great tutorial. I just reprocessed my image of the North American Nebula shot with a ZWO ASI2600MC Pro and an Optolong L-Extereme filter. It came out great! This is awesome.
Awesome to hear that Doug, thank you mate! :-)
Outstanding video Luke.
Thanks so much!! :-)
I just followed this tutorial on my existing data (Pelican and North America) and I'm very happy with my end result! Up until now I wasn't very happy with my end result, but your suggestion of using the Correct Magenta Stars script salvaged my image. Thanks a lot for sharing your work flow Luke!
Hey there!! - Ahh that's brilliant to hear, I'm so happy for you! :-)
Thank you very much indeed for trying out the tutorial and leaving a comment for me, I appreciate it mate!!
Clear skies :-)
Brilliant tutorial Luke! Love the chilled out music! All that in under half an hour, excellent! And as always amazing final image!
Hey there Simon! - I'm thankful for your support mate, I know you mentioned you don't use PixInsight yourself just yet so the fact you'd watch anyway is absolutely awesome :)!!
I hope that it was still entertaining for you!
Thanks very much mate :)
Luke
@@lukomatico That’s no prob Luke. I watch your Chanel because I love the images you produce mate! Also I’m hoping to pick up some tips, as you use the same camera as me plus ‘when’ my 120 arrives, I’m relying on you to steer me in the right direction 😀👍
No worries then mate :D That's brill :)
@@lukomatico Hey Luke! Great tutorial thanks, I did follow along ok, had one little niggle where EZ Denoise wouldnt work for me, (the Run bar at the bottom was greyed out!) but other than that, I got the jist of it! I just need some practice! Im not sure Pixinsight likes my data though! Photoshop doesnt have this problem, but when I load my image into Pixinsight (stacked from DSS), it appears extremely noisy, to the point of being almost pixelated! I can never seem to get rid of it all! But never mind, I just need more practice, probably me not doing something right! Well explained tutorial Luke, many thanks!
@@SimonsAstro Hey Simon! On the TGV settings tab in EZ denoise, make sure 'run tgvdenoise' is selected :-) that should fix it!
The noisy data thing can just be not enough data, high cloud, maybe some stacking settings even! - it can be a minefield but personally I'd only bother going rooting around in settings etc if it's every time you take data :-)
Clear skies mate!
The pace was about right - I was glad it was no faster. Excellent info.
Great to hear that Jerry!! - Thank you mate :-)
Just brilliant, so easy to follow....great teacher
Thank you so much mate, that's really kind of you to say! :-) I'm glad it was easy to follow!
Clear skies!
My struggle is finally over for the Hubble Palette😅. Thank you so much for making this video, I really appreciate it. Not only did I learn how to get the Hubble palette I also learned how to use pixinsight. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for such kind words my friend, I'm genuinely so happy to hear it was useful for you!! :-) all the best, and hope you have a super weekend!
I use separate filters so this was a really interesting watch to see how you get the colours from a one shot. Thanks for sharing...my workflow is similar!
Thanks for watching mate! - I do like mono still, but the ease of OSC makes it so much fun! :)
Cheers!
Absolutely amazing, thank you! Even worked really well with my H-alpha modded DSLR images. Well, time to go back through the catalog and reedit all the images :D
Great to hear that mate!! Thank you so much for letting me know :-D clear skies!
Nice workflow Luke! I only shoot mono, but if I ever try OSC, I'll be back to re-watch!
Heya Joe! - thanks so much for dropping by and taking a look mate! :)
Can't wait to see what you're up to next!
Great tutorial, Luke!
Thank you 🙏🏼!
Thanks mate!! So glad you liked it :-)
Clear skies!
Thanks Luke! I used the process last night on a rough test shot I had of The Bubble from last Summer. Just to get started. Before I take some wide field shots this year with a new Hyperstar. As you know the Bubble is mostly all red in a OSC, but your process makes it much more appealing! CS!
Hey mate that's brilliant to hear! :D I'm so happy you were able to use and apply the techniques to a totally different target, that's awesome 👍👍
Thanks so much for the lovely comment :)
Clear skies!!
Perfect pace! Thank you.
That's great to hear! Thank you so much for the feedback! 👍👍
Thank you for watching!
Wow! Another great tutorial. So glad I invested in Pixinsight about 6 months ago. I am finally getting comfortable with it and I had no problem following your vid. Learned lots! But..... Still on the edge with false colour images/Hubble Pallet etc.. Not sure if I'm in that camp yet but your image is one that might make me switch. Cheers!
Hey there Mike! - That's great feedback mate, I'm very happy to hear it was easy to follow :)
I hear you 100% regarding colour choices, it's a personal thing, and also perhaps a per-target thing too, undoubtedly the Cygnus wall came out strikingly with the colour choices, but a "normal" red approach would have changed the mood of the image totally :) - both valid approaches in my view!
Thank you for watching mate :)!
I have to say, this is the best Pixinsight video I have seen. Thank you so much for doing this!
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it :-)
@@lukomatico I'm going to give your techniques a whirl tonight. I have a nice 12 hour of the North America as well as a mosaic of the entire area.
@@MarvelousLXVII Superb mate! I hope you enjoy the process and the end result! Good luck 👍👍
@@lukomatico I followed your process and it worked extremely well. I am very happy with my image and think I can make improvements. Thank you again!
That's brilliant to hear!! So happy for you mate :-)
Superb tutorial which worked really well for me as a first time user of PI (or any processing software for that matter) Thank you.
That's absolutely brilliant to hear, I'm very glad :-)
Clear skies mate!
@@lukomatico Thanks, I've recommended it on the popular UK forum Star Gazers Lounge
@@Neph-v5r Ah you are too kind! - I appreciate that, thank you so much mate!!
Fantastic Video Luke - Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks!! :)
Another OSC awesome tutorial!
Hey again Mark! - Thanks again mate! Glad you liked it :-)
Thanks so much Luke! Purchased Pixinsight a couple of months ago but hey couldn't get anywhere lol! Last night capture of North American Nebula and Pelican Nebula with my Celestron Evolution 8HD Edge with Hyperstar processed with your outstanding help! Fantastic thanks. Look forward to your RASA images! Cheers Rich
That's brilliant mate!! Really chuffed to hear the video has helped! :-D I bet the hyperstar was a superb match for that region too 👍
Clear skies my friend!
@@lukomatico Excellent matey go for it with the RASA! Cheers!
Just downloaded the PixInsight 45 day trial and going to have a go at this tomorrow as a complete noob...
SO helpful and the pace was just about right for this 50 year old. Wish I had two monitors so I could run this video and PI side by side!!
Greetings from Derby btw :-)
That's great to hear mate! I'm sure you'll get to grips with it in no time, just keep processing data over and again during that trial and see where it takes you! :-)
Hope the skies are being kind in Derby mate!! they certainly aren't up here, haha! :-D
Another fantastic tutorial. Thanks again for sharing.
My pleasure mate! - Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! :)
just what I was looking for, thanks!
Awesome to hear!! - thanks mate :-D
That was excellent mate! Great pace and really easy to follow. I don't do it the same way as I use APP. I tried a trial version of PI when I started AP a year ago which was not a good idea when you are trying to figure out which end of the telescope to use. After seeing this I think I will have to invest in PI as there is functionality like Pixelmath and starnet, which you can use as standalone but its integrated into PI which is very useful. Great job and thanks.
CS
Brad
Hey Brad! - that's great feedback to hear mate, thank you! :)
I 100% understand about pixinsight being a bit much when you are just starting out, I dare not attempt it for about 5 years I guess!! :D
That said, now I'm used to it, there's really no going back! Processing in it has become a pleasure now :)
Thank you so much for watching Bradley!
Well explained and to the point. Learned a lot. Thank you
Glad you liked it Eduardo! :-) Clear skies mate!
that has been really helpful, thanks a lot!
Thank you very much indeed Adriano, that's brilliant to hear mate! :) 👍👍
My. This helps tremendously! I don't have to make a mask to shrink stars when they're separated from the main object. Being able to adjust the main object without having to segregate the stars with a mask just makes things faster! Thanks so much for this tutorial!
Hey there mate! - I so glad you've found it useful, I know that Starnet made a huge difference to my processing once I'd gotten used to it! :-)
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment, I really do appreciate your support!
Fantastic tutorial! Loved how you put the white text on the screen for a few key parts. Very nice image too!
Hey there Michael! - I'm glad you liked the tutorial, and the little bits of supplementary text! :D I hope it was useful in some way :)
Thanks for watching!
Just amazing!!
Thank you my friend! :-) Clear skies!
Thank you! Learning something from this!
Glad it was helpful mate!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Hi Luke, a great tutorial and what a lovely image. Having never processed any imaging before, I don't know how I will remember all this stuff once I come to try it for myself. May have to try and replicate yours and follow step by step. I now have all my gear unfortunately still all boxed as now have 10 weeks of night shifts.
Again many thanks for this tutorial, they go a long way with understanding how it all works. As mentioned by another, think you are the UKs answer to Astrobackyard.
Hey there Paul! :)
That's really flattering to hear haha, the Astrobackyard of the UK, brilliant! 😁 I love to watch Trevor's videos!
Regarding processing, it will definitely seem quite daunting now, but after a bit of practice it'll all start to fall into place! :)
It's a good idea to follow mine or others, step by step as you mentioned, you'll start to familiarise yourself with it in no time 👍👍
I hope your shifts pass swiftly and you can get your gear unboxed and start having some fun!
All the best mate, and good luck
Awesome tutorial!
Hey Steve! - Thank you very much indeed, I'm glad you liked it! :D
Clear skies mate
Lot of information but very well explained! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Mario! Clear skies my friend!
I am almost tempted to buy PixInsight... but I will stick to the tools I know first... Siril + Photoshop. Nice tutorial mate!
Hey Martin! - It's a slippery slope haha, I do think PixInsight is the #1 processing software out there - which it should be given the cost of entry! , but that certainly does not invalidate other approaches, as you have proved with your own beautiful images mate :)
Thank you for watching!
This an absolutely amazing tutorial, I've never touched pixinsight before and was able to follow along with a little goggling and produce a great image! Thanks so much, please keep putting out content like this!
That's brilliant to hear Trevor!! I'm very happy to hear you were able to follow along and create something nice! :-)
Thank you so much for watching! 👍👍
Brilliant Tutorial
Thank you very much Peter! :) cheers for watching 👍👍
Great explanation. I use affinity photo to do my post processing. I'm hopping I can use those techniques there. Great image
Hey Chris! - I hope some of things shown in here are transferable skills/ideas across programs, I haven't tried out affinity but I'm sure there's a way to do it! :)
Thanks for watching!
Nice job. I'm with you.. I prefer to have the stars added back in.
Hey mate! - I'm glad we're on the same page haha! :D Starless images are pretty, but I do prefer generally to see the little stars there in the image too, as they should be!
Thanks very much for watching mate! :)
Incredible tutorial.
Hey there Richard! - Thank you so much mate :)
Clear skies!
I think the pace was good Luke, as you say it's fairly involved and those with fast brains can always put the video speed up to 1.25x if they wish :D Levels and curves are about my limit usually hence I'll stick with GIMP, but You're a good teacher that's for sure! : )
Hey Chris! - thank you so much for watching mate - I'm glad the pacing was okay, it feels like a bit of a balancing act between giving too much explanation and potentially losing people's interest due to it taking too long, or too little info leaving it feeling incomplete, but fast!
I hugely appreciate your time mate, thank you for giving it a watch and leaving your thoughts! :)
Clear skies,
Luke
Thank you for this - I feel like my PI workflow just took a quantum leap with channel separation and starnet which I've tried in the past with limited success. I've been taking many extra steps in BN, ABE and Color Calibration based on other sources, that I now know I needn't. Now to go back and reprocess many nebulae, gulp!
Ah, that's a lovely thing to hear Jim - I'm so happy it's helped you out mate! :)
Wishing you luck with clear skies, and the energy to reprocess your old nebulae data! :D
All the best,
Luke
Great video. I figured out almost the same approach. If I would have seen this it would have saved me some time
Heya Mike! - I hope the skies are being kind to you mate, it's been bad here! I'm glad to hear we landed on a similar approach, that's quite cool haha! :-)
Thank you for watching, and best regards!
Luke
Skies have been bad, and possibly Hurricane Elsa will pass over us on Wednesday 🤨
Brilliant as always Luke. I've just followed each step on my image of the Fighting Dragons of Ara and I'm VERY happy. For a beginner not only with astrophotography but also Pixinsight the pace and content suited me down to the ground. Thanks mate.
That's just wonderful to hear Pete, thank you for sharing that my friend! :-) I really couldn't hope to get better feedback!
Thank you for your support!!
I’ve watched this twice now. Gonna watch it one more time later today when I attempt to execute these steps on data I just captured a few days ago. Fantastic tutorial Luke and your final image is absolutely amazing! Subscribed and liked!
Hey Kamil! That is awesome to hear, I really am glad to hear that you'll be having a go with some of your data, I hope you end up with a nice result mate!
Thank you so much for your support by the way, that's fantastic of you! 👍👍
Clear skies and good luck with the process :-)
Thank you for this! I'm sure I'll watch it several more times as I am just starting to learn Pixinsight. I thought the pace of the video was great and you did a fantastic job of explaining what you were doing along the way.
Hey matey! - Aw thank you! that's amazing feedback, I really do appreciate it :-) I hope you enjoy the learning curve of PixInsight, it's all time well spent in my opinion as it's simply unrivaled at processing astro images I think! :-)
Great job. This is similar to how I do it except I don’t use the EZ scripts. Beautiful final image too. 👍🏽
Great to hear Tim, I'm glad you liked it! :) interesting to hear we've got similar work flows! 👍👍
This was truly excellent, Luke! Clear, concise and accessible to a PixInsight newb like me, bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm so glad you've enjoyed the tutorial!! Thank you so much for letting me know :-)
All the best & Clear skies!
I was able to get some 5 hours of RASA 8 data on this target and followed your tutorial. Was able to get those colors "mostly" similar. I did notice that, right from the stacked, raw images, your data was just better. Sharper and less gradient. Strange, you also live under Bortle 7 like me, and we used the same camera and filters. Perhaps it was just a night of poor seeing in my driveway. I would guess that my rig is "seeing limited" about 99.5% of the time. I may have to finally make the 2 hour drive to a place west of me to camp under significantly darker skies. 2 hours isn't bad compared to the 8 hours I recently drove to the dynamically dark skies (where I was rewarded with 3 nights of solid cloud cover).
Thanks again for excellent tutorial. You used a couple of techniques and processes that I wasn't familiar with, so I will watch it again next time to try and remember the work flow.
Hey there Paul! That's very interesting to hear, I do have some idea what could be causing the difference between our data, you might want to have a look into narrowband spectrum shift, because your system is f2 it will certainly be affected by this phenomena with the l-extreme filter - that's what I'd say is going on mate!
I'm glad to hear you were able to follow along with the tutorial and learn a couple of things, that's absolutely awesome to hear! 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience mate, it's much appreciated! 👍👍
Clear skies
@@lukomatico You might be correct about that. The L-extreme was initially touted to be great for fast systems. But a number of people with RASAs are doubting it and saying they are not getting great results. The extreme may cause band shift with the pass too narrow. They are switching to the NBZ filter. I may do that too, but the NBZ is only made in MM sizes. My Starizona filter holder accommodates a mounted 2 inch filter, so not sure what will work.
Thanks for response!
@@paulwilson8367 Hey Paul! - as far as I know the optolong l-enhance works well with f2, better than the l-extreme apparently for fast systems- I have no experience with the NBZ filter but IDAS make great stuff so no doubt it'll be a good option 👍👍
It's a bit of a shame to have to mess about like that isn't it :(
All the best mate,
Clear skies 👍👍
@@lukomatico I sold my l-extreme yesterday in about 5 minutes. That pays for the NBZ. Still have the L-eNhance for now. Also will consider the upcoming Baader NBs for my mono camera, but more money involved there.
I would really like to at least see what my equipment could do under optimum conditions. Those would not be found in my driveway, ha.
@@paulwilson8367 that's great Paul, you've got options now then mate which is always a good thing! :) happy to hear your l-extreme sold quickly! 👍👍
Once in awhile, a video really speaks to me... this is DEFINITELY one of those times. I can't thank you enough for sharing your time and expertise. This is a very well done lesson - thank you.
You are SO welcome Alex! Thank you for that lovely message :) - I'm very happy you found the video good!
This was a fantastic tutorial. The information was great, but as important, so was the pacing and the explanations of why you were doing what you were doing. Easy to follow and understand and really helpful for someone who is new to PI to really get a feel for how to use the different tools and how the apply them. I have been looking for a clear explanation of how to do SHO with OSC data and this was it! Thanks for taking the time to put it together!
Hey Astro LA! - what wonderful feedback mate, I couldn't imagine hearing anything nicer! :)
I'm really happy you have enjoyed the tutorial, thank you so much for trying it out and taking the time to share such a lovely comment!

You're very welcome Suhas! - I really appreciate the feedback, thank you!! - Clear skies :-)
Great video! Great processing in PI. I have this same camera and the same filter, so this is gonna be something I try as soon as there are some nebulae and no clouds!
I am curious what your sky is like. I have heavy LP and usually ABE doesn't work for me. Also, some experienced AP'ers report that EZ DeNoise doesn't work so well for them linear due to abundance of LP. I will most certainly give it a go.
Thanks so much!
Heya Paul! - I hope the tutorial serves you well when the skies clear :) - regarding my sky, it's Bortle 7 here in Castleford
re: processing, I often find ABE is a bit overzealous with default settings, but definitely sky gradients are easier to deal with on a long-ish focal length scope like the Esprit 120. - RE: EZ DeNoise - I've been lucky so far, it's always been great for me! :D - I've not tried it out in a nonlinear state yet, that could be interesting!, I know the tool it relies on, TGVdenoise works best with linear data, but, I'm all for experimenting with different ways to use tools!
Thanks so much for leaving a comment mate, I appreciate it!
V.Cool method. Thank you :)
Glad you liked it mate!
