thanks for your insight, Mike. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Like you, I've had some issues with getting colours right for duoband, but this has helped me, hopefully it can help you too: https://forum.startools.org/viewtopic.php?p=10263#p10263 I still don't entirely understand it, but I'll...

You might find this thread of interest: https://forum.startools.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2003&p=8798#p8798 About half way down Ivo mentions how to combine an RGB starfield with bi-colour data. Is that what you are looking for? that's exactly what I'm after :) thanks almcl! I'll hopefully get to broa...

Hey Martin (it’s AdamJL from IIS) Thanks for that. Not quite what I’m after unfortunately. You’re the master of natural looking nebula photos no doubt. I’m trying to go for a bi-colour nebula (e.g blue and red or orange/yellow and blue) but throw in the full gamut of RGB stars. If I just shot this t...

Hi folks I'm starting a project on M8 at the moment. I will be using my 2600MC and L-Extreme to focus on the nebula and going for a muted Hubble-esque palette. However, I really never like the star colour that comes out of duoband/narrowband images so I want to mix in RGB stars. To do this, I will s...

By the way... you're far from a beginner! If you're a beginner, I'm a newborn
You are definitely more than that, thanks

wow, that's awesome!! Thanks very much, Stefan, and for providing the log so I can follow along. I copied what you did and got the same result. I understood everything up until the colour module, but it was really the Superstructure that wowed me :) Thanks a million. I will play around some more. De...

by the way, I did have a play after I made my first post above and somehow this popped out. I post this not to show a final image, but just to show that there's definitely data in the nebula, I just don't know how I got it out, haha. This is the sort of differentiation I'm after. The palette itself ...

thanks Stefan. Yep I tried all of those suggestions. Go for your life on my data :) I don't know why Autodev overstretches. This isn't the first image it's done it on either. Sometimes I get lucky and the Super Structure module fixes it, but not always. Here's a link to a folder. The Eagle has a bla...

I'm especially interested in how to use things like the Hubble palette om these emission nebula with this filter to get those blues and yellows. Achieving such images with a duo narrowband filter has been one of my interests too, but I never really got there, since the color always looked rather un...

thanks Carles. Yes Filmdev seems quite good. Once I got in, things seemed to be a bit more intuitive to use. But that's probably because I watched your video and understood what was happening

The saying "show me don't tell me" is a powerful way to teach.
