I just started watching it, but thank you, i’m excited to learn something new today that I can apply to my workflow. I’ll save my questions for afterwards.
I am so appreciative of your work and you teach so well. I have no questions yet because of all the information that you included in this video. It is going to take a while to digest. I think what I’m going to do is process my data a second time following these steps exactly. then I am sure I will have a few questions. The first time I processed my data, I split the color image into individual RGB channels and processed it like a narrow band image so that I could follow along with what you were doing. The results turned out very well I think and I was wondering if I’d be able to share my results with you?
Splitting the RGB channels can be useful, especially if your system exhibits large amounts of chromatic aberrations. However, I would still combine them in PixInsight in order to take advantage of SPCC color calibration.
@@kevinivey8422 I don't think there's much value in splitting the RGB channels after WBPP. There is an option in WBPP to split and process the channels individually. The benefit there is that each channel is registered uniquely (before integration) which can correct for chromatic aberration. If you split the channels after the integration you don't get that benefit and probably just make processing more complex than it needs to be. SPCC is a big benefit, and In order to use it you need the RGB channels combined with stars still present.

I split the channels after I have done all the basic processing in Pixinsight with the little button at the top of the toolbar on the left-hand side.
And after I have removed the stars.

Hi, I need a widefield picture of M5 around 400 to 600mm. Is that possible from your observatory?
It is, but not this time of year; it's only about 10 degrees from the sun. It looks like it would be a late-winter or spring target.
@@utahdesertremoteobservator8328 I see. I wiil get back to you when it's higher in the sky.
