Description

Decided to try the Pleiades again. Hopefully I have learned a trick or two since last time I imaged them a year ago. I feel like I am starting to get comfortable enough in Pixinsight to try some different ways of processing. The first image here I processed by combining two different exposure lengths in integration with help from weighted batch preprocessing. I stretched it using ArcSinH and a masked stretch. The second one was ArcSinhStretch with a luminosity layer from the masked stretch intensity channel.
