Title: Colorizing HA image
Post by: Farzad_k on 2018 June 26 08:14:23

Hello,

Expressing my question in another way hopefully I can find someone that can answer my question. :D

I have an image I have developed with HA filter and I had hoped to be able to use this integration to enhance the red channel in the final image that will eventually have R, G and B also included. However, I am not able to proceed past monochrome with what I have and following another thread on the subject, when I make PI think this is a red channel, the entire image, including stars and the black parts of the sky become covered with a red filter. Is this how it is supposed to be or there are other steps that need to be taken that I can research? The advice to the other poster did not go any farther than what I have described.

Thanks in advance.

Farzad

This link will help, as it is a little more involved than simply adding Ha to the red channel. I have used this method and it works well.

Thanks for the reply. The link is about combining HA with LRGB. I am sure it can be tweaked, but that could cause confusion. I only have HA data and am looking for a way to bring color into it.
