Description

This is my first attempt at a more PixInsight-oriented workflow.

* Image calibration, registering, and stacking was done with DSS.

* DBE, Background Neutralization, Color Calibration, Stretching, Contrast done in PI. Used a luminance mask to better manage the Contrast (done via CurvesTransformation Tool)

* Photoshop used to fix a dust mote.

* Noiseware used for Noise Reduction.

Version B is a crop of Version A.

Versions C and D are much improved with regards to removing the red cast and bringing out fine details. Special thanks to Jason Tackett for posting his PI workflow for M42 and the encouragement to continue on with PI.

Thanks for looking!
