I have tried a new approach that might be helpfull/interesting for you to try as well.
It is about the color balance of the surfaces of our planets.
Instead of using the well-(probably?)-known process of balancing color in Registax with Jupiter's RGB values I decided to experiment more and got something more pleasing, than just the boring red hue for Mars or yellowish-orange for Saturn.
So the workflow I had:
- Stacked and derotated as usual. Did not color balance, so my megastack is green.
- In PixInsight extracted background with the Automatic DBE from SetiAstro. SNR of the image is increased, excessive green from my OSC is reduced.
- In Registax did RGB Balance to the image using the saved Jupiter's RGB values. I have used same camera and same WRed and WBlue for both planets in Firecapture.
- In AstroSurface performed W-Balance on the image.
- Sharpened and denoised as usual.
Natural, using Jupiter's value in Registax
My way™
