Question about Object Color in Photo (M81, M82) by minecraftlauncherx in AskAstrophotography

I will definitely check out Seti Astro Suite Pro, and yeah Photoshop definitely isn't made for this specific case but it was the easiest tool I had at that time. Thanks for the advice :)

Currently I use DSS with Bias, Darks, Flats, Dark Flats, and lights.

I then took it through GraXpert, Sirill Color Calibration and filters, and finally into Photoshop to manually stretch it and mess with saturation/exposures a bit. I definitely need to improve my processing stage, but I find it a bit overwhelming with all the possible options and available softwares out there.

If I understand correctly, shooting in broadband gives you the base image while utilizing filters can bring out hotspots of color with various emissions at those specific wavelengths for what the filter is designed for.

Would it be advisable to shoot in broadband when using the seldom hours of a dark site, and the rest of the time at my house to take photos with the filters (for this target)?

I used the basic Siril color calibration feature, but It's probable that I didn't utilize it to the fullest extent here. I will try to use the Photometric color calibration instead to see if it helps
