Description

Pixinsight processing notes: I am now using ABE in place of DBE and building Mosaics using PhotometricMosaic after adjusting the background levels using DNALinearFit. I then do channel combining in the final linear stage before stretching on an individual channel basis - this is providing superior results so I am reprocessing many of my images and re-posting them.

See my earlier processing of this target which involved channel combining at the non-linear stage: https://www.astrobin.com/cg6l8i/
