Expert Narrowband Colour Normalisation Using Pixelmath
Masters of PixInsight tutor Warren Keller will guide you through a challenging aspect of narrowband imaging: equalizing the lightness in the three narrowband filters (SII, OIII, and Ha), which can vary widely depending on the target.
Starting with your stacked data of these three narrowband frames, Warren will discuss and compare various methods such as MTF, LinearFit, and Narrowband Normalization PixelMath expressions by Bill Blanshan. These techniques are used to better balance the color channels in a combined RGB image.

Venus Unveiled: Mastering UV/IR and RGB Processing in Planetary Imaging
This 2 part tutorial offers a comprehensive introduction to processing Venus data. Imaging Venus is unique in planetary imaging, combining both UV/IR and RGB processing to enhance cloud details.
The first part introduces the raw data components and initial sharpening in Registax. Damian concludes this part with stacking the UV/IR datasets in AutoStakkert.
Part 2 focuses on combining data in Photoshop, starting with initial processes, followed by creating a synthetic green channel and adding finishing touches.
A Comprehensive Guide to Imaging and Processing Uranus
Uranus, located in the distant reaches of our solar system, presents a significant challenge for ground-based telescopic imaging. In this 2 parts tutorial, Damian covers all aspects necessary for processing Uranus data, including crucial acquisition decisions to ensure optimal quality.
Part 1 begins with Damian discussing data acquisition, considerations for stacking frames, and the processes in Registax.
In part 2, Damian focuses on stacking data in AutoStakkert and offers final processing tips in Photoshop for false color presentation.
WBPP Masterclass - Professionally and efficiently pre-processing data with PixInsight’s WeightedBatchPreProcessing script
Nothing matters more in astrophotography than preparing your data for post-processing.
In this webinar, join Warren Keller as he gives you a masterclass on Weighted Batch Pre-Processing. WBPP is the go-to script for analysing, registering, normalising and integrating your data. Warren will take you through step by step each aspect of WBPP and show you how to best optimise your settings to get the most out of your data.
