Frank, maybe you should check in with them again, I don't recall any delay getting the trial license back when I got it. Now that Spain is out of the World Cup, there should really be no reason for delaybluemax wrote:Boy, I hope those Spaniards send my download code for the trial Pixinsight soon!

Bill, I used Hubble palette (SII, Ha, OIII) => (R, G, B), but modified the colors in photoshop using Selective Color mostly following the technique described here.Bill Lee wrote: A couple of questions: When you say "mapped to RGB", is this the CFHT palette, Hubble palette, or something else? What was the bandpass of your narrowband filters?
I'm using Astrodon narrowband filters, 5nm Ha and SII, 3nm OIII.
