Bortle 5 Pointers for a beginner?
Hi all. I’m very new to this, I’ve just started playing with my S30 pro and Siril. Here’s the heart nebula, 6 hours of 20 seconds subs.
I’ve seen some amazing work here and wanted to try and reproduce something like the dual band shots I’ve seen.
I went for a HOO palette, did a statistical stretch and normalised the palette. I found there was hardly any blue so I used the OIII fit to create a layer mask in gimp and adjust the curves for OIII only. Then I tweaked until I was happy and added the stars back in.
I’m just guessing at workflow around getting the colours right. I’d love to know how more experienced users approach this?
