That last image with more data is definitely a winner thanks for the tutorial
@@nikaxstrophotography Thank you, I am still trying to get folks to work within the constraints of what their data can actually handle and show that it’s easy to push it well beyond. I thought the idea of showing one with the reasonable amount of time (18 hours) vs close to 30 and show the value of adding more time would be helpful.
This is a good video. It covers good information and addressed some processing issues that I have been having with the NarrowbandNormalization script and general SHO processing. Thanks for taking the time making this video.
@@jimwaters304 glad it helped. Let me know if there’s anything else you guys need help with.
Very informative, thank you!
Now if only photoshop wasn't a subscription maybe I'd get it. As for Seti's scripts, ADBE has been working great for me. I've been bouncing between that and Pixinsight's gradient correction that they added a couple updates ago.
@@afd33 I guess it all depends on how you look at it. It was about a $350 program and that didn’t cover updates so every couple years you felt like you needed to purchase it again so just paying 120 bucks a year and getting Lightroom as well as all the updates isn’t too bad for my opinion. You also get access to it on different devices like my iPad and iPhone, and some cloud storage. It’s annoying to keep getting all these micro purchases but in this case vs thier old model I don’t mind it.
Compared to Pixinsight, where you get free updates for life it’s obviously not nearly as good of a deal but people still complain about the $260. I wanted to stick with options that you could do in both programs for this one. That’s why I didn’t get into camera raw and the sliders too much. I’ve shown that, but I wanted to stick to things that you could do in both. I’ve been using gradient correction as well I’ll have to try SETIs. If I run flats, I usually don’t need to do either though because it will degrade some of the quality of your image sometimes so just be careful and make sure that you really need it because sometimes I’ve noticed no matter how good the program is it takes away some of the good signal.
Very nice video as well as timely since I’m working on this target now.
@@NOVA8264 perfect timing!
Nice ! 😊
Incredible results, what do all these programs cost and what kind of PC do you run?
@@woody5109 thanks! For this image I just used Pixinsight and Photoshop, Pixinsight was $260 when I bought it and the Lightroom/Photoshop bundle is $9.99 but that also includes cloud space.
The nice thing about Lightroom is you can use it on your phone so when I’m done on my computer and I transferred it to my phone to post a social media, I’ll usually fine-tune the tiff file in Lightroom and then I can also export it from there in whatever format I want so if I want to keep it as a tiff I can if I want to make a lower quality JPEG for social media as well as minor adjustments.
I guess I did also use topaz denoise at the end, I think that was $50 as a one time purchase. I don’t think it’s available anymore by itself. I purchased the noise and sharpening tool separately now I think they just sell it as a bundle of their photo AI, which is more expensive. But you can also just use Noisexterminator. However for color noise specifically I think topaz is better.
@@woody5109 I use an M2 Max Mac, works great for me only 64mb of ram and I can easily have Final Cut Pro open with 4k video and edit in both programs all at the same time.

I know you don't really get into plugs but I'll do one more and say that folks should really become a Patreon. For full transparency, I was the community member that Ryan was talking about at the beginning about my greens. The fact that he went out of his way explaining and making this tutorial speaks wonders. It's a great community!
Well, if you see my avatar, that greenish-something, is actually Melotte 15 (heart of the heart nebula) and there were arguments and questions about it- "why is it green" among the rest of the astrophotography crowd. They told me "if you google that image then it's not green". Well, I said, you can google a lot of things and find purple trees and rainbow dogs too. The majority of picture of it is taken in either RGB or HOO and not SHO. This is what my camera gave me, in SHO- Hydrogen is green. And just because the majority is doing it, that doesn't mean that's the right thing.
@@Neanderthal75 yeah that’s why I wanted to spend some time on expectations because I think some people choose a pallet wear green should be dominant and then spend the whole time trying to get rid of it lol
The heart nebula in general is very difficult because there are very concentrated regions of all three gases, but core is mostly green around the fine details where some S2 is mixed in. You see more influence around the outside of the heart that’s where you get all those other colors.
I noticed that the kink in the grayscale curve carried over into PS, but it looked like the magenta splotch at the top of the image was somewhat hidden due to how dark the image was. Is there a way to reduce a kink like that in PS, similar to what you'd do in GHS in PI?
The curves are very easy to manipulate in Photoshop. You can choose them by color and bring them down that way you could also use the hue and saturation adjustment layer. I always use the histogram as a guide and never prioritize it over the look. It’s a good way to know if you’re in the right ballpark but as long as I’m getting the look that I’m after I don’t worry about it too much.
Its not easy being green
@@jesuschrist2284 haha green acceptance is key 😉. That’s why I wanted to spend some time covering off on why you should have some green in an SHO image. Don’t pick a pallet that puts the strongest color at green and then most of your time trying to eliminate it!
@@darkrangersinc excellent advice :)
Meh, you should have showed the stretch. But whatever.
@@Chiclets1 if I show it and explain it at the same time, it has another 10+ minutes if people want to see it I’ve probably explained GHS and five different episodes by now. People don’t even watch something 20 minutes much less 30 🤷🏻♂️
