Image Processing Guides

There are two types of L-RGB processing with CFALD. 

1) Luminance layered on top for galaxies as luminance

2) luminance as the base as a mono image with RGB over layered over the top. 

Here we have tutorials for both with example images to practise processing.

Processing Using CFALD (uncalibrated or Calibrated) as a galaxy luminance.

We stack RGB as normal using DSSQ, then run CFALD on the uncalibrated, non-debayered pp_lights.

Then we process both in Siril, to normalise the backgrounds, crop the images and export ready to process in GIMP/Affinity/Photoshop. 

We need to remove the stars from the CFALD using Starnet++, and then mask the CFALD to let the RGB stars show.
