Description

Combining to nights, one without a filter and one with Hutech IDAS LPS P2 filter. Exposure time was doubled, the image is less noisy than the previous one. I am still not satisfied with the image.

When I stretched the image with DSS (which nobody should do), the image looks much more natural than the processed image. The two stacks are not very well aligned and the background is very uneven. A slightliy to strong stretch and in the image hard edges become visible.
