OSC Narrowband with PixInsight - Complete Workflow

Follow
Paulyman Astro

There are many tutorials on YouTube that show you how to take your OSC dual narrowband data and create a faux Hubble palette image, in this video I give you a complete workflow to produce a Foraxx palette image, which I believe is far richer and more eye catching than a simple "Hubble" style image.

To make it easier to follow along, I have provided a PixInsight project file which you can find a link to below. I have also provided links to the data I used, which is some fantastic data from Trevor Jones of Astro Backyard. In the video I use the GHS script as well as StarXTerminator and NoiseXTerminator, there are links to those below.

I hope you enjoy the workflow and get something out of it. If you would like a condensed version of the workflow which is less than 15 minutes long than you can watch my previous video .
