Finally, i managed to get the colors, WOW, this is really a hard time for me now so i have to work harder to improve more.


Here is what i did by myself with quick stacking and processing, not that much good as i am not yet learning about processing good.

Then a generous member did play with my stacked files and he did a really amazing great job, here

I took his image and cleaned it a bit and enhanced the color, maybe some don't like it, but i like it more with my tiny enhancement

What do you think for my first one?

Thank you very much!

Indeed, patience, learning, practicing, all will help into this field, and most important is to enjoy what we are doing and not giving up.

Camera: QHY163M

Filters: C.O. LUX-Series LRGB 36mm

Filter wheel: QHY-Medium-UltraSlim

Exposure time: 20 x 1sec for each LRGB

Software for acquisition: SGPro

Software for stacking: i used DeepSpaceStacker [DSS], don't know the software another person did use.

Software for processing: I used Photoshop only here, also not sure what the person did use.

Luminance (IR Cutoff), Red, Green, Blue filters that fit into a wheel to produce color images with a monochrome sensor.

(BTW... I never heard of it either, so I looked it up.)

That is correct, those filters are to produce colorful with details images when using a mono camera, mono camera is way to go in astrophotography, filters will give full access to colors in sensor than having bayered sensor with R = 1/4 and B = 1/4 and Green = 1/2 and not sensitive to IR and not cooled.

Lovely work for first LRGB, especially for such short exposure. 1 second subs can certainly be pushed longer to catch more photons - you should be thinking exposures in terms of minutes, not seconds. Are you guiding, or is this unguided? Guided you'd be doing subs in the order of 5, 10, 15 minutes each. With M42 you'll also need some shorted subs to HDR the bright core around the trapezium. ;)

I know all those, i didn't guide yet but i am planning to do so as soon as possible, also i have exposures at 10 sec and 30 sec or even 1 minute for M42, but all those in mono without filters, even one of them i think i did with Ha for better nebulosity, but that above in this thread was the first time with LRGB,...... WAIT, i did shoot with 10 sec too but i didn't play or upload them yet so that member can play with them and combine them with this 1 sec stacked to see maybe better result.

I have time, i am in process of buying a capable telescope rather than this guide scope as an achro scope, once i buy a true or good APO triplet then you will see what i can do.

Thank you very much :-)
