50 Hours of Data to Hubble Palette: Full PixInsight Processing Workflow shown on my Tadpole Nebula
In this video, I'll show you how I process my Hubble Palette astrophotography images, specifically featuring the Tadpole Nebula in . With over 50 hours of narrowband da...
The processing videos are of great value and more videos where you walk through your though process as you compile your data is helpful speaking as someone brand new to pixinsight.
A nice video. You have a pleasant style of presentation. Why did you not run BXT in CorrectOnly mode first to improve the PSF of the stars?
I know a lot of people like to do BXT in 2 steps. I never did a comparison to see if it’s any better so don’t take my word for it, but my thinking is that there shouldn’t be any difference and I prefer to do as few processing steps as possible
Thankyou!
I took quite a few notes, liked it, thank you!
Excellent image and very nice workflow. I always learn something new from your tutorials. Likewise, I don't mind a little green in my image. I absolutely would like to see more processing tutorials. I have a mono camera so it was great to see your workflow for mono. Thanks, and very nice image.
thanks! I just posted one, though it's not quite a tutorial it's more like I recorded my processing
I do appreciate this type of content. I learned a lot. I am new to the hobby. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I would really like a tutorial where you focus on getting good colors in an HOO image. I always struggle with that and it would be useful for both OSC dual narrow band shooters and mono targets with mostly H and O. Thank you :)
Thank you for the suggestion. It is not easy indeed
I've only just discovered your work, I was impressed by your videos on Fast Telescopes and Mono and Color Cameras. I find this video particularly useful, I already have a general workflow in PixInsight for narrowband, but you have demonstrated some useful tips, not only in the use of tools such as BXT, but how to verify changes made with the tool are bringing out the best in an image. I hope you produce many more of this type of video 🙂
thanks for your kind comment, I am happy you find these useful. I will keep making more
Props 👏

That’s a lot of data!
as long as the sky is clear the scope stays out :P
Hello, nice video and image. Do you happen to have your process icons available for download? I always like to peak and see what people are using in their scripts and such.
Thanks! I never thought about sharing the process icons, also because I've just had them there out of habit but then half the time I end up using different tools (as you can see in this video as well)
@ I was interested in your auto stretch one, I’m also happy to share mine, I use a lot of things to simplify my workflow, for example I have process icons to just rename the image ids to standard names like red, blue, Ha, etc. then I saved a version of the combine with those variables names defaulted, so I can just click combine rgb and hit the global and it builds my image. Same thing with different instances of SPCC with different filter setups and things like that. Always interested in how folks run their workflows as I usually learn something 😀
@mikecmp the renaming one is a super cool idea! I'll think about a good way to share these in the future. The autostretch is just a line I copied from Juan's post on the pixi forums https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?threads/auto-histogram-settings-to-replicate-auto-stf.8205/
@the_space_koala perfect that is what I needed, my google skills are not so good I guess. Thank you!
Awesome video!! I wish somebody explained their workflow In Siril the way you explain everything.
I wish I was a proficient Siril user!
@the_space_koala Never too late to start 🤩
Great work!!! Interesting approach, I've to try it, in my processing way I make color image very early, then I use SPCC for narrow bands, after that BXT and very late NXT.
I've been in this hobby for a few years and you are teaching me useful techniques I didn't know. Thank you, keep doing this, and I'm subscribed!
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
I'm a S30/S50 user. Before I jump into the "traditional" telescope world, it would help if I understand calibration frames. What are they, why are they needed, how to create them and what to do with them. In the smart scopes world, are they addressed behind the scenes or maybe not used? Thoughts for possible video.
I did a video on calibration frames in my “Deep Dive” playlist - it doesn’t get any more detailed than that 😁
Some very good points on green in the images and also some different tricks than what I have been using so far in PixInsight, very helpful. Please keep making these, something we can come back to and reprocess with to try different things :)
THIS WAS FREAKING AMAZING. I have a meade lx65 8 inch and I will be following your approach!!!
Hai thank you for your answer on my question but i have another question. You used a PixelMath formula to stretch i have tried to copy that but it doesnot work with me. Is this formula special for you or can i use it too Greetings
You can use it, but you have to specify variables B, C and c on the symbols tab (B = x; C = y:; c). SK, what values do you use for B and C? I got it to work, but the contrast is way too much for the values I tried.
Excellent tutorial! 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Please do keep them coming!
