Description

I got an evaluation license recently and this is my first attempt with Pixinsight. The processing was entirely done with PI. I have to admit, that i felt completely lost at first sight, but somehow i struggled through.

High clouds and a lot of haze did not really ease processing.

So, hardly scratching on the surface of what might be possible, i managed to get this picture. From my point of view, noise reduction was the hardest part of it and i still have a lot of large scale background noise. If only i could create better masks!
