PixInsight Intensive Workshop by Vicent Peris
7 – 13 September 2014, Katonah, New York, USA


H-alpha Emission Enhancement of Linear Images

This technique allows the H-alpha signal enhancement without affecting the color balance of continuum-emitting objects. Here you have a before/after comparison with images acquired by Leo Bette.

H-alpha Emission Enhancement of Nonlinear Images

We also reviewed techniques to enhance emission-line objects in nonlinear images. This is an HaRGB image with IC4628 data by Velimir Popov.
