Trying Adam Blocks Narrowband Combination - How does it Stack Up?!

- After speaking with Adam Block I agreed to help spread the word after checking out some of his new Narrowband Approaches to reach a larger audience. We both have a lot of content out but obviously there is a stylistic difference in our approach that can resonate better with some than others. Hopefully my interpretation of this method helps, I think it has some potential as additional option to Narrowband Combination.
Keep in mind I am also new to this and it will be a growing process for us all. The release date is 9/20/2024 so there will likely be advances and updates to this technique as time goes on so take it for what it's worth and have some fun with it!

The beauty of how you show things and how Adam does it is obvious, less waffle and straight to the point. Thanks for doing this Ryan and for Adam's genius
Thanks as always for the kind words, I felt the need to do an intro so people knew it was a bit of a collaboration and the context for me doing it. But after that, I figured it could be done in 15 minutes, which is what that portion took, and I didn’t really cut anything. I even showed fixing the stretch on the S2 data so that’s really about how long the whole process actually takes
@@darkrangersinc I will be testing my askar O3S2 filter next clear night and combine with the Optlong L-Ultimate and see what happens.
@@nikaxstrophotography since you use APP, you can just do extract HA (mono) to get the Sii from that filter. I just do Extract Ha and Oiii - mono, with the first filter and then he said he was going to add an S2. I don’t know if he has because I haven’t used color with that program in a while, but if he hasn’t extract HA, he said would do the same thing because it’s just targeting the red channel.
I think it’s a much cleaner and more monochrome looking data set, than using PI and separating the channels
@@darkrangersinc Thanks I'll try it out next clear (if ever) night
I tried it this week on the Lagoon/Trifid nebula - was a game changer for me. I use GHS a lot more than Adam does, and I made the SII more orange (mid 30's I think) than yellow as the yellow dominates a bit too much otherwise. Oh, and an Opacity setting of around 0.8. What I really loved more than anything was the GAME script that created a mask to stop bright sections from blowing out during the stretch.
@@larryfine4719 I saw someone else on Instagram do it with the lagoon it was pretty much mostly just yellow and orange with a little bit of blue in the center. I thought it looked pretty good. I like traditional SHO and RGB for Lagoon as well, both look good.
Saturation at .800 made it even brighter on the first go which is why I went to .700 a mask would be pretty necessary for the lagoon nebula, also try a range mask it’s pretty easy because you can target just the highlights and it’s only one step. You can make it soft without having to do extra steps, the California is not nearly as bright if anything choosing a darker orange might be the trick but I had a lot of red from the HOO since the Ha was strong and didn’t want to have it just be all orange.
great follow up my friend!
Thank your sir!
Awesome video Ryan! That picture at the end is absolutely amazing with those colors combined! Thank You for everything you do!!
@@mjsweeps cool glad you liked it! It’s kind of hard to judge with a brand new pallet of whether you’re doing it “right” or not. Whatever than means 😉

Any chance someone could just bullet point what we are doing different here.. and whats the benefit over our usual methods?
When the NBColorMapper script first came out there were a few prominent astro-imagers going crazy with it by colorizing all three channels and combining them into these garish looking images. This is a much more tame version of that but this too shall pass.
Yeah, that’s what I was kind of saying at the end we’ll see a big push of the style images for a few months, I think people that are newer to NB and don’t like traditional pallets because they can be challenging at first, but eventually learn to embrace them and the more expansive colors you can create with RGB vs ditching green but still a fun tool for those who want another way to process certain targets. I’ll likely forever prefer SHO and LRGB the most. We saw this with Forax a few years ago and when the NB normalizing script came of everyone with a dual nb color filter was posting yellow/blue false Hubble images for 6 months.
