Description

I was able to catch some SII data and process this in SHO. I stumbled across some pixelmath scripts by Bill Blanchard and used them for normalizing the SHO image and more importantly, adding the RGB stars into the narrowband image. It will probably take awhile to fully master his tools but I am impressed with how he uses pixelmath. I've tried other Pixinsight processes to add my stars back with limited success and usually resort to Photoshop. My workflow is evolving to nearly exclusive processing with Pixinsight. Comet processing forced me to learn WBPP but I still find APP easier for basic stacking and mosaics so I'll probably keep that as part of the initial workflow.
