palette or chart of star colors ?
Hi,
To create renderings of stars I need to know their spectral color to represent them the best I can using a calibrated screen. For example, I try to render Pollux and its exoplanet. http://www.astrosurf.org/lombry/alie...renderings.htm (close to mid of page, left) This bright star is a K0III, thus orangeous. But a K5 or K7 star is also "orangeous" but with redder. So how to know what is the exact tint or palette to use to render exactly a K0III star (and tens of others) ? NB. Of course nobody will never tell me that my Pollux is G6 instead of K0 on his creen, but better to render them correctly ;-) Is there somewhere on the web something that could help me to pick up the exact color of each spectral class ? No color palettes includes in office applications uses such a system (but rather CMY, RGB, etc). So how to proceed ? I think to a high resolution true color H-R diagram, maybe, but where could I find such a chart in hires, and online ? Or isn't there an astronomy application that shows them all correctly (I think to Starry Night Pro 6 as I'm going to buy it) or even a small freeware dedicated to stars ? Do you have another idea to check spectral colors electronically (and if possible with all intermediate stages, G0, G3, G7...) Thanks in advance Thierry http://www.astrosurf.org/lombry/ |
