Description

Process with L/RGB method of Scott Rosen. I attempted to eliminated what I believe is noise created by the intense star fields surrounding this object. I first wanted to see if the background was nebulosity and used a screen mask inverse, but I decided that it is not nebulosity rather the star filed is so populated that any light coming through from the stars creates noise.

The attempt shown here is without a screen mask invert. I had a difficult time keeping the saturation in the star field while bringing up saturation in the DSO
