Mark Johnston
I have been fascinated by the night sky since I ‘discovered’ Saturn with my 60mm refractor at the age of 10. An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com. As a NASA Solar System Ambassador, I have conducted thousands of public outreach programs and am a registered cruise ship speaker on astronomy and space science, as well as a Director of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. I frequently post astrophotography images, news, and tutorials on social media. My solar imaging and videos are particularly popular, and I have conducted extensive research on solar cameras and solar image processing techniques.

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.
