Steve, at this time, absolutely the BEST "how-to" video for SHO - Hubble Palette processing. From your many videos, I've used a variety of workflows, techniques, and new process applications and scripts, and this tutorial covers the most relevant aspects of this workflow. There are so many nuances that need to be captured - will require a couple of views to get them all documented. I'm updating my written workflow and project template that you covered today. Will be re-processing the Flame Nebula using this video - expecting a much better rendition. Clear Skies, Clear Minds, and Hearts...
Yet another Master Class to round-off the year 👍👏👏. Great explanation on the use of GHS. Please keep up the great work and wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and clear-skies 2023!!
Steve, Thanks for the workflow, tips, and tricks. The subtlety with stars really makes a difference; and love to go back to Photoshop, like going home.
One more request - do a tutorial on capturing and processing a "dark nebula"...not many of these have been produced, and can't think of a better producer for this topic.
This is a brilliant tutorial video. Although I shoot OSC images, once you combined your channels there are so many techniques to use. I have just started extracting luminance and adding it back in, so your method and process is great.
Great stuff! I worked alongside with my own IC 1396 image in OSC and this really helped! Thank you! Some of these techniques are definitely going into my toolkit.
Amazing Steve, truly incredible image. I’m going mono in Jan and will definitely use your workflow tutorial. Thank you for always delivering rich content that is easy to follow and understand. You have helped me improve my processing skills over this past year. Keep up the great work. Always an inspiration. Happy New Year! Clear skies and my favorite clear minds
Wow! Really appreciate the kind words!! You'll love mono for sure. The details you'll get are so so much better. Get ready for an up tick on file management and waiting alot longer to stack...lol Happy New Year to you too!
Thanks Steve!! Another great tutorial 👍.. I have been waiting 11 months now for a Howe Glatter laser colminator, looks like its going to take another 5 or 6 months. One dude in Colorado makes these and I think he is 80...😂
Just when I think you've pulled a rabbit out of your hat, here ya go again. You have an entire fluffle now. I laughed at your Chuck Woolery reference. Great image Steven. I'm attempting to incorporate some of your workflow of my current project: IC2087. The problem is, Mars was crossing it the nights I imaged it. Dark nebulae and bright planets don't go well together. Clear minds and clear skies! -Jason
Love this vid! Great techniques overall and cool star method. Really enjoy your casual style..you don't have to sound like a scientist that knows it all to teach me! haha And yeah, blurX is cool...especially on stars, but if I could only have one of Russel's plugs it would be noiseX all day!!! I use it on EVERY image and it never disapoints!!
nice job on this, and nice star tweaks at the end. I am a little surprised you didn't run the BlurX before initial stretching! it really tightens thing up a bit from the start. But great image and love the color adjustments....i'm reworking some data earlier this year, and following along with you doing my GHS, thanks!
Thanks! Yeah I'm working on a blur X video as we speak. I agree it works wonders I just wanted to wait to use it on a galaxy for my next video. Somthing more close up!
@@enteringintospace4685 for kicks, you should drop BlurX on your Lum before stretching...what happens to the bigger star....as well as overall sharpness.....seems like a good image to try it on. I learned a trick from Cuiv...if not a lot of stars, or you want to be more exact, run script:image analysis: FWHME and get the median FWHM, drop that number into the PSF diameter in BlurX.
Nice!! I love the technique! I have been finding MLT giving me a some weird results at times. Maybe to aggressive. I've been using Local Hist. Transportation. To get my details to pop a bit more. Still haven't mastered your "star pop" method in PS. Seems to leave rings around my stars. I'll keep practicing.
We suck! Lol. Look for stair alingment in process At the top drag and drop a reference in , the drag the carrot over to the image's you want to alingment. Or drag them into the center box and lick apply. Good luck!
The Master from Florida is BACK !!!
Lol....yep and hopefully will be back sooner next time!

Very Cool Response, Thanks so much!
Thanks for posting this. I've missed seeing you on TH-cam. Wishing you a productive 2023 with plenty of clear skies.
Thanks so much....Happy new year to you!

Please keep up the great work and wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and clear-skies 2023!!
Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you as well!
Agreed, I've watched probably a dozen videos on GHS and have struggled to wrap my head around it. This was the first time it actually clicked for me!
Steve, Thanks for the workflow, tips, and tricks. The subtlety with stars really makes a difference; and love to go back to Photoshop, like going home.
Thank you. Wonderful workflow 🤩
Thanks for sharing your processing skills with me!
My pleasure!
Love your videos. I end up incorporating a new technique in my processing every time you post a new video.
Awesome!! Working on another one as we speak, stay tuned!
The star is The Garnet Star (Erakis).
Thanks! I won't forget!
hands down .THE BEST.. tutorial videos .. really helpful ! thank you so much for all the effort and the added humour is top :) cheers mate
Awesome feed back! Thanks so much!
no problem at all, i followed your latest andromeda and it was my best attempt so far!!! cheers@@enteringintospace4685

That would make a good project video to see if I could even get a decent dark neb image in the skies I'm in. Giving me ideas!😊
This is a brilliant tutorial video. Although I shoot OSC images, once you combined your channels there are so many techniques to use. I have just started extracting luminance and adding it back in, so your method and process is great.
Thanks so much! Yeah thats a great way to enhance OCS data....right on!
This is great! Thank you for sharing your skills with us 🙂

Hey sorry for the late response, YT notifications suck. Man i just sold mine, im beginning to think i should have kept to trade for eggs :)

Why do I store love connection reference s? I could use that space for way more important things🤣 Good luck on your dark nebula project ..CSCM!!

I'm working on a blur x video as we speak! Happy New Year!
Thank you for the videos!! Insanely helpful
Great to hear! Thanks!

Mine was much darker. Zwo533MC, 85x5 -10 minute subs.. Excellent guiding. No idea how to extract such excellent colors..
Division on your DBE? Why? I didn’t see much vignetting. Your original images were very clean. Nice work.
great video but i wonder if you considered using dark structure enhance to make the darks more striking.

Hey sorry for the late response, YT notifications suck. I hope you've been able to get the ps star reduction method to work!
Great work coach! What gain setting do you normally use with your 1600mm? And do you change it depending on narrowband, broadband, or Bortle rating?
Thanks!! Honestly fornthe 1600 I use unity gain across the board. 139/50
I've experiment with other gains and offsets and unity is the best
How do you star align? I cant find a tutorial anywhere. Every single tutorial assumes you already have this step done. Drives me nuts! lol
We suck! Lol.

At the top drag and drop a reference in , the drag the carrot over to the image's you want to alingment.
Or drag them into the center box and lick apply. Good luck!
Steve, have found applying blurx and noisex after channel combination is better than doing before combination to each channel separately?
Hey! I actually only apply them to my luminance. The sho or rgb get blurred out with convolution.
Do you have S, H, and O files for us to download and practice alongside the video?
