As a matter of fact, the link I posted above is wrong (it was meant to point to the archive's search engine, not the actual file). The combined 1100nm and 1600nm is actually not the one I processed - StarTools will try to load it as an RGB file, while it is not (it contains a channel that does not represent image data).luigi wrote:I was able to open the file, it needed a crop it seems...
Of course I can'teven get close to your results with the image that shows how much I have to learn about ST.
I have problems with dynamic range (areas are overexposed others too dark) with color calibration (it's always too blue or too red) and with noise, contrast and sharpness. The rest (?) is fine
Do you have a step by step of how you processed the photo? Or a video? A video of this can do a lot of good to ST as many other HLA images can be processed as a way to learn the tool and processing of good quality data.
I processed the 1100nm and 1600nm frames indivdually using a standard workflow for each. I then combined the two processed results using the LRGB module; 1600nm as red and 1100nm as blue. After color calibration I ended up with the image above.
I'd like to make sure everyone can process the same data set in the same way, before doing a video. As it stands now, this particular data is not suitable for the 32-bit versions of StarTools...
The trouble stems from the large amounts of anomalous/bogus data, causing the Color module to lose its fix on what the true dynamic range is for each color channel. Only by boosting the blue channel by ungodly amounts can I currently achieve a reasonable color balance.
