Awesome! I never quite understood the mechanics, but now I do. Thank you so much!

Hi Ivo, What filter type should by using? Also, I see that the Blend amount is for the foreground image, so if I use your first step: First add red and green (20 + 27.5) = 47.5 mins total, 20/47.5 = a blend of 42.1% red, 57.9% green I assume that I need to set the blend amount to 57.9% (because I fi...

Also, one more question. Looking at the new LRGB module, I don't think I can input %'s as I did before, so what sequence do you suggest for blending my integrated images. So far, I have: RGB = 120min.. (Blue=72.5min/Green= 27.5min/Red=20min.) Ha = 90 min. OIII = 137min. Thanks for your help, M. Now...

Hi Miquel, Nothing too different, but creating a synthetic luminance frame is slightly trickier (oh how I want to fix this ASAP! :evil:); Hi Ivo, Did you get to fix the above one? I'm about to give the HaOIIIRGB a try, but I wanted to check if you made any enhancements to the above process that you...

Yes, it's a fantastic tool!

That's just excellent. I got nothing to add!

Thanks a lot Ivo! I could have not made it without your teaching.

I processed the Image having the 4.3 hours of information and adding Ivo's steps plus a few other things he's taught before, and this is the result...remember that it's is a Bortle 8 sky...I'm basically in Portland Downtown. Cheers, M.

Wow! You're amazing! And the process feels a bit like magic -good magic-. I'll study your steps and I'll work to improve my ST technique. I really appreciate the detail explanation.

Hi, I've been working on my NGC6826. I'm working with fairly small amount signal to figure out the flow/steps a bit faster -as I do quite bit of trial and error-. My first question is, does StarTools want to work with the .FIT file that comes out of my Pixinsight calibration process, or do I need to...
