Description

Still learning LRGB processing. Kind of kicking my ass. Struggled with this one and will probably go back and revise and revise for the practice. But I love this hobby. I have to thank James Lamb for his video on using Starnett to remove artifacts that calibration frames didn't remove. I only took darks and biases for L-Bin1, and forgot for RGB-bin2, ugh. But I was able to use starnet to remove the stars, fix the dust donuts and dark halos with CloneStamp and combine them again using PixelMath. Brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfeFsyG2NoU
