M42 - First LRGB Effort

Posted By louie atalasidis

Hi Louis and a Merry Christmas to you!
Very nice first effort at M42,you'll need to take some short subs and mask them in for the trap mate.
At the moment what your seeing is a saturated core so the data is damaged(clipped)at 60 seconds subs you should be able to save the core f this object.
Try again with your combined raw and this time keep an eye on the histogram on the right hand side and make sure the line doesn't start pushing up the far right of the histogram.
Warren Keller has some excellent free video tuts on his site you could check out they will help you understand clipping the highlights. His web address is: www.billionsandbillions.com
