This post shows at a high level the stages in processing the data captured during an imaging session all the way through to the final image, in this case the image of the Iris and Ghost nebulas that I captured at Oregon Star Party this year. The picture above is a screen capture taken on…
Presentation from Oregon Star Party
Last week at Oregon Star Party I presented some more details of my image processing workflow using PixInsight, particularly covering pre-processing and calibration. Here is a pdf version of my slides, and more importantly, a copy of the workflow document that I was discussing. As I mentioned during my presentation, I recommend writing your own workflow document,…
