Description

NGC 7789, Caroline's Rose Cluster in Cassiopeia. The cluster is named after it's discoverer, Caroline Herschel, and its rose-like appearance visually. It's been a while since I've done any sort of cluster which was good and bad - needed to remember how but much simpler not dealing with any nebulosity! This data has been sitting unprocessed for the better part of a year and I'm finally getting around to it. Captured from an approximately Bortle 7 backyard.

Processed in PixInsight using standard preprocessing and calibration, a significant dynamic crop due to night-to-night framing differences, DBE, and PCC. Stretching accomplished using 3 passes of Arcsinh Stretch. Version A uses a synthetic luminance pulled from the linear RGB processed with Deconvolution, stretched with Masked Stretch, and combined back with the RGB using LRGB combination. Version B skipped this step. Finished nonlinear processing using Curves Transformation for contrast and saturation.
