2020-09-20 IR-RGB Processing

Celestron C11, Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate, ZWO ASI290MC, Pierro Astro ADC

 

 

In addition to capturing regular RGB data using the colour camera and the UV-IR Cut filter I also captured video using the ZWO 850nm IR Pass filter.

 

I hadn't bothered with the data until today, and almost threw it into recycle bin, glad I didn't now.

 

The top 3 images are 3 stages of the IR850 capture:

. the IR stacked image (from Autostakkert 3.0)

.. then with Registax wavelets applied

... after being processed in photoshop.

 

The lower 3 images:

. the RGB stacked image,

.. then with Registax wavelets applied

... and the 3rd is a composit LRGB or (IR-RGB) image using the top right image (as the luminace channel) and the lower middle image for the RGB
