NGC 253 Silver Coin + NGC 246 Skull Nebula

Post by Amaranthus »

My latest use of Startools, first a LHaRGB time of a galaxy:

...and 2nd a narrowband image of a relatively small planetary nebula, where I used the Layer module to remove the NB stars and add in RGBs:

I'm really getting the hang of ST - it is an incredibly powerful, flexible yet easy-to-use tool. I wish more people knew about it (for their sake :lol: ).

Hey, that's great to see on the Skull, thanks Ivo. All I need now is a pair of 8m telescopes and I'll be up to this quality :thumbsup:

I feel like I've just had you in my living room for the last few hours by the way - I just enjoyed your recent Google Hangout on ST. Fantastic stuff!
