In this video, I'm diving deep into the processing of SH2 115-116 using Siril and Photoshop on my Mac! Get ready for an exciting journey as I unveil my entire mono image processing workflow, built from an incredible 97 hours of Ha, Oiii, and LRGB data! Initially, I didn’t plan to gather so much time, but while waiting for my new Oiii filter from @Svbony, I kept capturing Ha data. Once the filter arrived, I jumped into action to catch up on Oiii and grab some LRGB data for those stunningly beautiful RGB stars. Join me as I guide you through my process of blinking, stacking multi-night sessions in Sirilic, and pre and post processing in Siril and Photoshop! Check out the chapters below for easy navigation through the workflow. Plus, I'm sharing this image data on my Discord server, so you can grab it and practice mono image processing alongside me! Get ready for some challenges and fun!
Cheers!!
Doug
