Histogram and Green Adjustment

#1

Post by ScottD »

Hello!

I'm brand new here and very new to astrophotography. I've been reading the different threads and thought it was time to join. I recently downloaded SharpCap and also recently purchased a ZWO ASI 183mc. I'm trying to get used to the histogram and have a question. I understand how a histogram works and can work this one pretty easily, as I'm not new to photography. My question is this - How do I adjust the green in the histogram? Last night I was able to get most adjustments pretty finely tuned, but could not get things to line up with the green. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

You're not alone – this seems to be a common thing that new owners are noticing with these cameras – they are very sensitive to green light.

See this thread for discussions of how you might deal with this problem : viewtopic.php?t=2578

Hope this helps, Robin
