NGC6188 from Kiripotib (Namibia)
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2016 8:58 pm
Hello Forum,
I am new to startools and want to share a result from my third travel to Namibia.
NGC6188 is a bright nebula complex in Ara, which cannot be seen from my home.
It was a hard way over the years to establish a successfull workflow for narrowband imaging. With this data I tried to replace
some steps with startools.
I hope you enjoy it.
Object: NGC6188
Optic: APM APO 107/700 + Riccardi Reducer f=524mm
Camera: Moravian G2 8300 @-20°C, EFW-2S-10
Filter: Baader Ha, OIII and SII, 36mm
Exposure: total 4.4h, Ha 19x8min, OIII 7x8min, SII 7x8min, 228x Bias, 31xDark, Flats
Mount: Alt7, FS2
Guiding: 8x50 Finder + ASI120MM, PHD-Guiding
Date: 2016-07-29, Farm Kiripotib Namibia
Image Processing
Preprocessing:
PI: ImageCalibration, ImageIntegration, CosmeticCorrection, StarAlignment
Preparing Tonemap:
Startools: Develop, NoiseReduction, StarRemoval (Heal)
PS: SHO, selectiveColors (Bob Franke), Dynamic, HueSaturation
PI: SCNR, ColorSaturation
Preparing Ha-Channel as Luminance:
Startools: Develop (Ha), NoiseReduction, Sharpen, Magic (Shrink)
Final Processing
PS: Ha as Luminance, Levels, selctiveColor, maskedHighPassSharping, maskedSoftLight, maskedScreen
