Alignning RGB channels of the Moon

[jnavas1]

Hello,

I was amazed at the result of these topics...:

...so I have tried something similar too.

I have 3 photographs (IR-L-UV), one for each channel (RGB) to make a chrominance image to combine with the L image. They don't fit each other exactly, so I would like to align them properly. I tried the previous tutorial through the "Star Alignment" process, but I only get two images aligned, the sharpest ones. The fuzziest (UV) is the most rotated, and I don't know how to make it fit to the others.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Jesus

Hi Jesus, if there is only one image to align you may try DynamicCrop to manually crop and rotate it conveniently or also DynamicAlignment. It is only a guess without seen the images.
Hope it helps,
Saludos, Alejandro.

Jesus,

I wrote that tutorial you linked to and since then I have also struggled with some images. I think the images need to be sharp and also have bright small highlights that look a bit like stars or the alignment struggles to work.

Juan, did you do any further "work on a derivative of the StarAlignment tool for nonstellar alignment features"
