Rosette with more color in stars

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi Floyd. This one looks great! I have found that the key to getting good star color is never changing the white point during a stretch of levels adjustment. Moving the white point nearly always causes stars to become almost totally white and also causes them to bloat. This one looks really nice.
Cheers,

Nice image Henry. I love these wide shots because they give perspective on how everything fits together in the sky.

NGC2359-Thor's Helmet

Sweet image Jason! You managed to capture some nice detail in the extended areas. This one is on my "to do" list for sure. My problem is that I can't get a clear sky to work with. DANG! :C

Synthesized color from Luminance

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi Floyd.
Yes, it is possible to create a "color" image just by creating red, green, and blue, frames from a luminance image and putting them together. But, I'm sure you realize that it is not a real color image of the object. For example, the image you posted could have a bright orange star and a bright blue star in the frame, but using this method they would both appear to be the exact same color. Every object in the image will have precisely the same color, which will be determined by the ratio at which you mix your RGB data.

I have enjoyed watching as your images get better and better. Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Tyler
