Hi all,
I took RBG star images for my M16 in SHO. However, once I introduce the RGB stars to my SHO image, they turn full magenta. If I invert the image and use SCNR, they all turn yellow. I can't seem to introduce my RGB stars, which have a nice array of colors, into my SHO image without losing the RGB color.
How are you extracting and recombining?
Without knowing what software you are using and how you integrate the star image in the SHO one, I doubt anyone will be able to answer.
Please add details about your workflow.
How are you adding the stars back into the image? Are you screening them?
I add my stretched stars back into my stretched nebulosity, using the following pixelmath expression:
~(~stars * ~nebulosity)
How do you do that? And what are you using for it? Assuming PI you would need to do this in PixelMath
~((Starless_M16)*(~RGB_Stars))
Have you set the Stars image to RGB colour space?
