Flying Bat and Squid Nebula
This is the Flying Bat (red) and Squid (blue) nebula: This is a dataset available from Telescope.Live and represents 46 hours of narrowband imaging. This image was not easy to process because the Squid...
Convert a LRGB/Broadband Image to Narrowband/SHO
Slooh.com offers members broadband imaging, that is, Slooh.com captures images using the LRGB filters. Lately I have been getting into narrowband imaging using Telescope.Live and iTelescope.net. Unlike broadband imaging where colors are fixed, you...
Converting a Green Narrowband Image to Hubble Palette Using a LUT in Photoshop and Photopea
One of the frustrating aspects of narrowband imaging is the amount of exposure time necessary to get a narrowband image with blue, gold, and neutral colors, specifically the colors of the Hubble Palette (SHO)....
Moon During May 15/16, 2022 Lunar Eclipse
This is the moon as it appeared during the May 15/16, 2022 lunar eclipse: The moon was a very dark red, likely due to all of the ash expelled by the Tonga volcano eruption...
Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch Script 2.2 for PixInsight
Update, December 2022: Note that GHS is now available as a fully integrated PixInsight process, providing improved speed and seamless integration with the PixInsight platform. This tutorial covers processing M51 with the GeneralizedHyperbolicStretch process...
