Re: [APML] NGC 3953 using LLRGB technique



Roland,
    Here are a few film examples. I started doing tech pan/colour LRGB in '98, when I got my first scanners. Jack Newton and I discussed doing this over Christmas dinner back in 91 or 92, way before digital techniques became the norm. We couldn't figure out a way to get the negatives properly stacked, rotated and scaled back then, everything would have to be done with an enlarger in the darkroom. When I started working with Picture Window and Photoshop, this all became a reality - clumsy, but possible. Once I became a beta tester for RegiStar (Dec 99), this was a piece of cake. The biggest problem with using a Newtonian to do this, when the images are taken years apart, is finding image pairs where the diffraction spikes line up.

I really like Rob's extension of this idea with LLRGB. I will be trying it out when I have the right type of images - and the time.

It would be interesting to try this with color film as the RGB data and Tech pan as the L data. Have any of you film guys tried that?
