Wide field images

[Twinkle Star]

Hello,
I have a question concerning image data coming out of a modified camera.  Some time ago I took wide field pictures of the milky way (swan, deneb region) with my Nikon D70 which is a modified camera. I have tried to process it with PI, but somehow it does not work in terms of all sorts of funny colours coming up . I basically apply the workflow from Harrys tutorials, which is fine with my other camera D7000 which is not modified; the whole things is so much easier with the D7000.
Is there anything I have to bear in mind or have to take into account when dealing with images taken with a modified camera ?
Thanks for your help,
Angelika

Hi,

PI has no idea where your images come from. You need to correct your colors just like with any other camera. Small adjustments or large adjustments are equally easy. My raw images are completely green but are nicely balanced right after DynamicBackgroundExtraction and ColorCalibration.

I wrote this a while back. Not quite a tutorial but an illustration.

Hi Sander, pretty neat tut. I've been looking for this color correction for a little while. PI is a big learning curve to me. Very different from other softwares. Hard to get your head around those processes initially but it's starting to make sense now.

Glad to hear that Marc! To be honest it wasn't meant to be a tutorial but more of an example to give people a reason to get these processes a try. I never fiddle with the settings for BN and CC though. The trick is to pick decent samples.
