Description

IC405 shot in SHO with RGB stars:  I originally applied a Linear Fit (SII and OIII to Ha) but for some reason that seemed to decrease the detail in the image a little bit. So I redid it without Linear Fit and preferred that result.
DBE
BlurExterminator
SPCC (for Narrow Band - really helped with the background)
NoiseExterminator
HT
StarExterminator to create Starless image for further processing
another application of DBE on starless image
Various color masks
Curves
LHE 
MNT Sharpening
Dark Structure Enhancement (just a little around 15)
Star addition of RGB stars
I did do a SCNR at around 90% at some point in the process and used HT with an inverted Lightness mask to darken the background.
