NGC 2419 A processing experiment

Revision title: Re-processed

I've tried new things in my processing workflow in PixInsight in order to improve stars in this image. The two big stars nearby are about 2 magnitudes brighter than the cluster. So it was not easy for me to stretch the cluster.

I've already imaged NGC2419 about 3 year ago. Here is what I wrote back then:
NGC2419 is an outstanding globular cluster which orbits the Milky Way every 3 billions years. Its path takes it far beyond the galaxy into the intergalactic space. Its distance from the galaxy center is currently about 300 000 light years, which is farther away than the Magellanic Clouds. Due to the large distance the NGC2419 brightness is only about 10m and its apparent size is about 6 arcmin. However in fact it is a huge cluster nearly 500 light years across, which is almost 3 times larger than the Omega Centauri.

Thanks for looking.
Vitali

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
