Description: Reprocessed from the integration onwards -- used Astro Pixel Processor's light pollution correction on the individual Ha and OIII integrations instead of waiting till after the RGB combine. Then ran background calibration on the result. Ran SiriL's green noise reduction to remove a cast in the background and the stars, then ran SiriL's autostretch again to pull things up a bit. Starnet++ to get a starless layer, Photoshop difference to get a stars layer, desaturated that and pulled the background to black to remove any remaining casts. Went halo-hunting with Photoshop's Healing Brush on the starless layer; ran the result through Topaz Denoise before anything else. Levels and curves in Photoshop to make it look pretty; ran a Color Balance layer to pull the colors really hard to blue/green, then carefully let that through the mask a bit wherever the OIII data was brightest. So sort of hand-colored, but as accurate as I could make it.
