M16 Eagle - HaRGB

Posted By Greg Bradley

A very nice image Jim. My only comment is the colour seems a bit salmon. This is from the Ha RGB mix. If you put a bit of your Ha in the green and blue channels you can get a good balance. If you use Photoshop use lighten or overlay mode for the layers. green 5%, blue 20%, red about 50%. It gives more control over the final colour when adding Ha to images.

Very nice!

One thing, the stars are oversharpened. If you have Photoshop there is a nice tutorial about how to selectively sharpen objects in the image using layers at Don Waid's site.
Otherwise, back off the unsharp mask a tad so the stars don't get that harsh edge to them.

My M17 from last night

Posted By Greg Bradley

Wow, Floyd, 173 exposures! Did it take a long time to process?
Looks very promising. One thing though, was the focus spot on? I seem to remember my 80mm WO triplet as being quite widefield (the F6 model) and thus very sharp.

This is poor, but my hands are tied.........

Man if that's a bummer I can hardly wait for the winner.

Tom, you are one of the world's top imagers!
