This group is all about imaging with narrowband or emission line filters. Many astroimagers live in areas that have significant light pollution. The use of narrowband emission line filters can help overcome the limitations of a bright sky allowing color images such as the one to the right to be taken from a light polluted backyard in a city.
When used to make color images, emission line data can highlight latent structural features in nebulae and give them a unique appearance. The advantages are not limited to color images, many beautiful images have been taken with just a single emission line filter such as Halpha.
The discussion topics of the group include anything relating to imaging with narrowband filters. Image postings are specifically encouraged as are discussion about processing techniques, hardware issues etc.
Thanks Guys, This method is for "ready" images. Meaning fully calibrated and stretched material. Bob, I can see what you mean, I'll keep that in my mind. J-P
... Hi, JP, I am a relative beginner, and tried the process. I did get a little lost, and ultimately didn't finish; seemed to me that at times you used
I made an example of Tone Mapping procedure. http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2009/11/power-of-tone-mapping.html Comments are welcome and if somebody is trying
Personally based on my experience dealing with that guy, I would be careful to confirm independently his claims i can show you postings he made many years ago
