This was a difficult post processing…until I realized that the Sunflower Galaxy is a “flocculant galaxy” and the dust lanes are not as pronounced as in other galaxies.
Hi Folks🔭🤗
The Sunflower …but this time with the Optolong LQE filter…6 hours integration, Bortle 8…ha forming regions creating a composite image (channel extraction of red channel of LQE filter) #astrophotography#galaxy#M63
@RayM5666@DMiller52325459@WayneMoranPhot0@JohnGetchel@freedomfeens Hi Ray….It is a great image…what software do you use in post processing…I like to use a combination of Pixinsight and Affiniy. Before that when I have used Gimp. Also, Seti Astro Pro Suite has many features that you do not find in any other one software.
@RayM5666 Hi Ray...Thanks for posting to Astronomy Notebook Community FB Group...something curious I do not understand...is that I cannot comment for your posts in the FB group...just for your posts...do you know why that might be?
@RayM5666 FB determined that something that I inadvertently shared did not meet their community rules...since 3 weeks I have been left in the dark as to whether the restrictions would be temporary or permanent...so I decided to do plan B and make another group.
