      In this Photoshop tutorial, Telescope Live Tutor Bernard Miller demonstrates techniques to enhance color in narrowband astrophotography images, specifically focusing on both object and star colors. Using an image of the Elephant Trunk Nebula, Bernard will explain the SHO palette (Sulfur mapped to red, Hydrogen to green, and Oxygen to blue) and addresses the common issue of green tints and unnatural magenta stars. Bernard will show you a process involving selective color adjustments to reduce green and enhance overall color balance. He will further explain using RC Astro’s Star Exterminator to remove stars, improving image editing without star interference. Lastly, he will show you how to restore and enhance star colors, making them more natural without the need for RGB data.
