Separating out the channels, and pulling up the G and recreating a new B-channel to have all this then recombined in PixelMath has also sadly introduced a lot of noise. Processing: PixInsight (Mac) - ‘fake’ Hubble palette Guiding: OAG, ASI290MM, ASIAIR Pro + dither (#1image/10px) Scope: TS-94EDPH APO (FL 414mm / 517mm with 0.8x corrector) The Phantom of the Opera is (still) there … inside my mind 😉 getting a little bit carried away with my imagination 😉👻… the graininess in the background is like the falling debris at the end of the opera.

But I wanted to bring him out of the mirky shadows of the dungeons of the opera into the light and into the colours.Īpplying some processing techniques to bring this to a ‘fake’ Hubble palette, the grim mask now stands out from the background of space.
