With the Oiii data captured last night it is now possible to do HOO processing for this image. I'm still new to this so please be gentle. A bit overdone maybe? Still, it's so much fun to see all the color and structure emerge. I have to say that last night was the latest night I've ever had with
AP. I couldn't start imaging till about 10:20 pm, so, I knew it would be late. I finally crawled into bed at about 4am this morning. No problem sleeping.
Still learning about the SHO-
AIP script and NB processing. Lots of variables to play with, but, it is quite handy for experimenting. I'm starting to see the benefits of using a pseudo Luminance image. Still using WBPP and finding it extremely helpful. After the last image was taken last night I loaded the new Oiii data into WBPP (the
Ha data from a couple of nights ago was already loaded as well as the required MasterFlats and MasterDark). I hit Run and then started warming up the camera, and, went out to bring in the equipment. By the time all the equipment was in, WBPP had finished calibrating and Integrating both the
Ha and Oiii images producing the Master Lights for
Ha and Oiii. Pretty cool!! I went to bed knowing I had some good data.
