HOW TO PROCESS NARROWBAND EMISSION NEBULAE IN PIXINSIGHT

2
In this 6 part series, Warren will show you how to post-process a narrowband emission nebula using Pixinsight. Each part of this series will cover the following techniques, all of which can then be applied to other emission nebulae captured in narrowband

Part-1 - Channel combination, framing and deconvolution
ChannelCombination
DynamicCrop
BlurXTerminator (deconvolution)

Part-2 - Noise reduction and delinearisation
NoiseXTerminator (noise reduction)
HistogramTransformation (delinearize)
StarXTerminator (star removal)
SCNR (eliminate green from stars)

Part-3 - Nebula masking and Colour Adjustments
HistogramTransformation (raise black point)
GAME Script (nebula mask)
Convolution (mask feathering)
CurvesTransformation (saturate and brighten)
CurvesTransformation (hue experiment)

Part-4 - Contrast and Sharpness
LocalHistogramEqualization (contrast)
MultiscaleMedianTransformation m(sharpness)

So good! Thank you Warren for sharing with us your talent of presenting complex material in an easy for everyone way!

Great tutorial, Warren. Only problem is I can't seem to load Part 3. I get this message: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."
