From time to time, Warren or Ron demonstrates a complete workflow from beginning to end. The other instructor monitors the chat box and answers questions on-the-fly. This allows participants to see the entire post-processing workflow from beginning to end, learning how Warren and Ron use various processes, scripts, masks and settings in context.
About the Workshop
In Photons to Photos # 24, Ron will work up more than 54 hours of monochrome data on the iconic Bubble Nebula, NGC 7635. This object is well placed for imaging from mid-northern latitudes during autumn and winter. Ron collected this data from his home observatory in September 2024 using a Celestron 14-in EDGE HD and a QHY600M camera with Optolong filters. The data set includes both RGB broadband and SHO narrowband data, so there are many options for color palettes and processing workflow.
