Visibledark Astro hi Shawn. Followed your Star Size reduction tutorial tonight. Again, very helpful. I still wish you can come up with a full workflow tutorial on processing Nebulae with OSC. Would be immense! Most tutorials are for galaxies, which is completely different. Thanks
Hi Shawn. Excellent video, as are the rest of your guides. Since most of us beginners in AP use an OSC for ease of use, it would be really helpful if you can do some tutorials specifically targeted at processing OSC data from start to finish. Would be very helpful if you could do separate ones for galaxies, clusters & nebula since they are so different? Like M101, M3 & Elephant trunk for example? Many thanks, and keep up the good work!!
Glad that number of subscribers is finally raising ! As for color calibration, your AutoColor script works great ! I use it most of the times or PCC which is also very powerful.
Hi and thanks! Yes I'm glad to see more subscribers as well. Hopefully it continues! The autocolor script does work well. Not everyone likes "auto" done for them though so I thought I'd show another way to color balance too. Thanks watching and supporting my channel! Cheers.
I'm enjoying your videos, learning a lot. Not only learning the process you presented, but also using the menu bar, STF Enable/Disable, New Preview Mode, etc. On this particular video on CC, I followed ChannelCombination, but my image was totally yellow tinted. CC did not removed this tint, but I resorted to BackgroundNeutralization using the same procedure you used on CC, such as Preview & setting the upper unit. This removed the yellow tint and I was able to move on CC.
Yes there's different ways to do it within PI. This is just one way that works well I've found. I sometimes use the Photometric Colour Calibration, If I can, but it often fails on plate solve for me. Never figured out why it worked sometimes and not other. At least this way works in most cases.
Good video and great advice but would have been so much better if you had of shown the before and after side by side so we can see that difference. Always interested to see how PI achieves the blues and reds for the stars and always seems to be consistent in its approach and results as opposed to my workflow in my software (CS6) where the result are different every time sadly.
Great tip setting the upper limit of the background. I wasnt doing that. What about when you have multiple background previews that you aggregate for the background reference? do you use the highest of them? thanks!
Thank you for another great tutorial. I cant seem to process my HA frames with batch preprocessing script. Do I need to do it another way when using HA filtered subs? Many thanks
I don't know off hand. There shouldn't be any issues with Ha within either BPP or WBPP. Can you explain more what the problem is exactly? More details?
@@VisibledarkAstro thank you for getting back to me. I will try and get the error code when I next log in . It just didnt like the subs. Think it was lack of stars error. But the stars where there as you could see them.
Please consider subscribing to my channel for more videos! Clear skies! 🙂

@@osamadessouky802 Hi! I've made a note about this. I'll try and do a full workflow in the near future. Thanks for watching and clear skies!
You make life so easy with your tutorials. Thank you so much.

Another excellent tutorial Shawn! I use autocolor script from your previous video a great help.
Thank you Tam! I still use the auto colour script as well. Sometimes. Just depends what I feel like. Thanks for watching and the comment. Clear skies!

Great video Shawn. You helped resolve an issues I was having. Thanks for doing these video's.
Ill keep an eye on that upper limit next time. I was doing everything you suggested but that upper limit adjustment. Good advice!
Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes. Cheers.

Another great tutorial. Your way of using colour calibration was different. Will give that a try on my next image. Thanks 😊

Visibledark Astro I also had it fail until I was advised on cloudy nights to tick: Force Platesolve
another good one shawn!!
Good job Scott!!!

Do you think the new "Narrowband Normalization" process (not the old one) does replace the color calibration (for narrowband)? Whats your opinion?
Do you do Background Neutralization before color calibration, Shawn? Have always wondered if that part really does much of anything.
Great question! Was wondering when someone would ask. lol. No I don't. Haven't done BN in years. Never had need for it.
Nice to hear. Thanks for the response. Cheers!
does it only works on pictures with stars?
Because I like to remove the stars with StarXTerminator and process stars and starless image seperately.
