hi thanks for the replies, only reason I was processing them individually and then trying to combine was to remove gradients in each separately. I will try and compose them as linear images and wipe. I'm trying to create a narrowband image of the horsehead and have around 18 hrs of ha,s2,O3 but can'...

hi, I processed individual stacks in ha,o3,s2 as they had different gradients, I want to combine them in the HST palette, but when I open them in the compose module, choose non-linear and don't activate tracking, I see only one channel in the colour module. how do I combine stretched channels in the...

Thanks Ivo,

That looks pretty good, much better than what I got.
I was combining LRGB in the LRGB module, not doing RGB separate.
I'll give that a crack and see.
when combining RGB, do I need to turn on cap green and interpolation off?

sorry about the duplicate post I took this whilst I was waiting for "astro" dark to see what it looked like in my fov, and ended up processing it, pretty happy with how it turned out especially since this has just 1 x 20min Ha and 1 x 20min O3. combined in startools using Ha:Ha:O3:O3 and then select...

hi, Just thought I'd share my result with a "quickie" I took a few days ago from my backyard. http://www.astrobin.com/full/212756/0/ This is just 1 x 20min 5nm Ha and 1 x 20min 3nm O3 with a 10inchF4 and STF8300m. This was combined in the LRGB module in Startools and all processing done there, but f...

Thanks Ivo,

This is the stacked data.

I managed to get a reasonable result playing with colours in PS after the final processing in ST
what do you think

hi This data consists of 4 x 10mins R 2 x 10mins B 1 x 10mins G 15 x 5mins L , 3 x 15mins L taken from a dark site. Had to reject a few due to satellites. Edit: http://www.astrobin.com/210770/D/ but I've been having issues getting the right colour balance. i did try the sample method before turning ...
