Iris Nebula Monochrome RGB filter Workflow.

Hello again everyone! This time we're working on the Iris nebula.

The first thing I need to do is give a shout out to Chuck from @ChucksAstrophotography for his live steam that didn't go so well. We've all been there, bud.

Secondly. I love @DrBecky . The way she says "dust" is wonderful so I stole a clip from her to use in my video, I hope she doesn't mind.

Lastly, this is how I processed my Iris image. This was an extremely challenging project for me as I am still learning the ropes on my new equipment and there is a lot that goes into monochrome imaging. I hope you'll stick around and see the result at the end. I feel it's worth it!

Hey! a Trick for you! If you want to know how far from your sensor a dust doughnut or light halo is, just multiply (Width of halo in image in pixels)*(pixel pitch on camera sensor)*(effective focal ratio). for example. the halo in my image is 200 pixels wide. 200*.00375(Pixel size in millimeters)*1.9(focal ratio) = 1.425mm. So the halo is coming from the glass on my sensor. good to know for troubleshooting!
