In this follow-up to the stacking multi-camera data tutorial of NGC 6744, Telescope Live tutor Nik Szymanek expands on the dataset integration process, moving from Astro Pixel Processor (APP) to PixInsight for advanced image refinement. Key steps include:
Finalizing Stacking and RGB Combination in APP:
- Integrate all CCD and CMOS frames to produce high-quality LRGB masters.
- Use Multiband Blending (MBB) to seamlessly merge different datasets.
Processing in PixInsight:
- Crop Luminance and RGB images to a uniform size using Dynamic Crop.
- Apply BlurXTerminator to enhance detail through deconvolution.
- Use Gradient Correction to remove residual sky gradients.
Noise Reduction and Image Scaling:
- Utilize NoiseXTerminator AI3 for effective noise suppression with real-time previews.
- Adjust histogram settings to control brightness and preserve background details.
This tutorial sets the stage for the final enhancements in Affinity Photo, covered in the next tutorial.
