Reprocessing colour in Startools

#1

Post by UkDave »


I had some tips from ivo Jager startools developer about processing my data using compose mode for osc using a duoband filter to give a Hoo image came out quite nice so had a reprocess on the soul nebula and the Rosette nebula , I was having trouble with getting the colour right but reducing red channel and increasing green and blue to suit .

Ivo is a great guy. He has given lots of info to both the old AF.net and TSS. He spends most of his time answering question on his own StarTools forum. It's a great place to get help with the StarTools software:
