Your videos have really helped me improve my processing. I think my camera is really becoming my limitation now though! I think I'll become a patreon subscriber soon as I'd love to both support you and get some help!
Julian, I really appreciate your tutorials as I keep trying to improve my APP-PS workflow. I think this might be the year to try Pixinsight...but that will depend on how much time life allows me to spend on this hobby. A question for you - how does your workflow change when dealing with faint structures throughout the FOV? I've had two recent images (M45 with surrounding IFN and the M36/M38 area with lots of faint Ha nebulosity) that I found difficult to work with in APP. There are good methods in Photoshop, as you've shown in another tutorial, to bring out those details, but I'm curious to know how that fits into a larger workflow. Looking forward to more of your content!
Hi Matthew! If you want to go after faint stuff, I can absolutely recommend PI. In my experience, you need very good data and very good noise control skills in order to reallly bring out a lot of faint data. And PixInsight excels at noise control. Being able to adjust the noise levels on different scales of the image is a complete gamechanger for me. But it is a complicated process and I dont think that there is a single workflow for all images. You start off by doing proper pre-processing and from that point onwards, you have to check what works. This kind of stuff is highly dependant on the individual data set, that's why there is no universal rule. In that case, a one on one tutorial would probably be the best to really focus on the data set at hand. I'll be releasing more content focused toward faint structures in the future! :)
I just improved my image by a ton, thanks to you! Great tutorial!

Thank you so much for your kind words! That just made my day after waking up 🌚✌️ Clear skies!
@@CrazedConceptions you should now wake up to a new Patreon subscriber too!
