Target : IC - 410 : Tadpoles Nebula 

Location:
Kuwait - Alhejen Farms - Camel Hangars 

Description:  
this was a fun attempt! I decided to give my set up a full test run by preparing everything hours in advanced and leaving. it was a nail biter as I cam back to 10 sun exposures which were out of focus but I managed to salvage the image in the end by making up for it with extra frames. this target has been on my list for just under a year and while I hope to image it again in a month or so when it's higher in the sky earlier in the night I just had to give it a go! Keep in mind these are not natural colors and they are my interpretation of the hubble palette.

Software: 

Pixinsight 
Adobe Photoshop 

Process: Initial stack and calibration of all files in Pixinsight ,then I integrated all images where i preformed dynamic background extraction, photometric color calibration, deconvolition and noise reduction with the Jon Rista method and then the first stretch. Further edits include sharpness, noise reduction, channel combination using SHO pixelmath method, hdr, color saturation and finally moving into photoshop to add the finishing touches and contrast adjustments.
