Hello,
A couple of years ago it was just Ha/Oiii - it was simple enough.
Now we have additional DB filters available - Sii/Oiii, Hb/Oiii and such.
I have an Antlia ALP-T Ha/Oiii and Askar D2 Sii/Oiii.
Things got more complicated.
I only imaged four targets with both filters so far and still struggling to find a way to combine them pleasantly.
I extract Ha and Oiii, Sii and Oiii. Combine the two Oiii.
In the end I get a set of Ha, Sii, Oiii masters to work with.
So, I investigated several options available in PI.
-- Simple Channel Combination sometimes produces amusing results with SHO or HSO, but generally I prefer a more natural look.
-- NB Colour Mapper (by Mike Cranfield and Adam Block) - has a great potential. I like it.
-- NB Hue Combination (Toolbox, from the makers of GraXpert). Similar to the one above. Like it.
-- Foraxx Palette Utility (Paul Hancock). Very red but I like it.
Is there anything else I could try?
Over the last week I shot Sh2-188 (the Shrimp nebula):
100x360s with Antlia ALP-T Ha/Oiii
058x360s with Askar D2 Sii/Oiii (planning to collect more to get to 100 frames).
Here's different renderings:
