Description

Images taken during one night at a dark site. Lens at 138mm F4.0, some chromatic abberation at the edges made me reduce color saturation for the stars in PixInsight.

Processed using bayer drizzle, integrating 300s and 600s exposures seperatly form 60s exposures. Used HDR integration with 60s to recover highlights.

Processed RGB with some noise filtering, extracting L channel for sharpening stars and increasing nebula contrast before recombining.
