Reprocessed Cave and Cocoon
December 14th, 2011
I’m pretty happy with these, I sat down last night intending to play Skyrim and instead and instead spent and hour or two playing around with the new MultiscaleMedianTransform and HDRMultiscaleTransform tools in Pixinsight. I based my approach off of the short tutorial on the Pixinsight forums.
First off the Cocoon.
I’m finally happy with this image, the dust clouds which have so long evaded me and now there and the dark nebula is really standing out.
I applied the same technique changes ot the Cave as well:
And again the improvement in clear to me, much more depth and contrast in the fainter areas. Now all I need is a clear night on a weekend without a bright moon so that maybe I can take something new!
