Pixinsight Workflow Tutorial - The Sombrero Galaxy Part 2
This is PART 2 of my Pixinsight workflow tutorial for the Sombrero Galaxy. If you missed the first video, watch it here: • Pixinsight Workflow Tutorial - The Sombrer...
To see how I captured the Sombrero Galaxy using two different cameras, then watch this video: • Deep Sky Astrophotography: Imaging the SOM...
There is a link to download my data of the Sombrero Galaxy for free in the description of Part 1 of this tutorial.
I used the ASI533mc Pro camera for RGB data and the ASI183mm Pro camera for Luminance data. This Pixinsight image processing workflow will show you how to align both sets of data to each other, and then process them to be combined together as an LRGB image.
***PLEASE READ - This data is free for you to use and process along with this video, or to process on your own if you would like. But please give me credit for capturing this data and do not take credit for capturing it yourself. Also, if possible, please share a link back to my YouTube channel, or a link back to this video. Thank you!!!
