Eta Carina Nebula with DeepSkyStacker & Photoshop

8
A short introduction video tutorial on how to process Eta Carina, using images obtained with the Telescope Live ASA 500N telescope located in Chile. In this tutorial, Peter Jenkins guides us through the process using inexpensive software: Fits Liberator (Free), DeepSkyStacker (Free), and Photoshop (subscription starting at $9.99/month). There is a companion tutorial that uses PixInsight instead (one-off license of $260). The associated dataset contains only three 10 min images per filter (Halpha, SII, OIII), for a total cost of less than 100 credits. The data that Peter collected using our facility at El Sauce is being made available for others to practice the techniques shown in these tutorials.

Fantastic video, thank you for the helpful information. I found FITS Liberator to be a bit tricky so any additional information on suggestions for default settings and use would be helpful.

Al pegar los TIF en Photoshop, en su respectivo canal, la imagen final RGB me sigue resultando en gris a pesar de que lo he agregado como RGB. Uso Photoshop 2021.

Hello, is there a reason why you process in this order? I usually just open my calibrated FITs in DSS and save them as 32bit TIFFs without using Liberator. Then I process in Photoshop CC. I wonder if I am missing something?

Could you share your convert to hubble action? I'm a bit lost with what it does.
