Description

Gathered over the last few nights in October, the beautiful blue reflection nebula shines like a beacon in the brown molecular dust in Perseus. Not easy to process and autumnal mist is not helping me gather more data. Still, this test process image is very interesting.

Revision A - original data from Barry Wilson using FSQ85

Revision B - additional Luminance data from Paddy Gilliland using his Borg 125. Processing Barry Wilson. Thank you Paddy.

Revision C - a little more NR with TGVDenoise.

Revision D - adjust black point.

After email exchanges with Paddy, I have sent Paddy my RGB data and he has sent me his Luminance data 45 x 900s which I have added to my LRGB after aligning.

NGC1333 really is a beautiful and mysterious reflection nebula. Thanks for looking and C&C always welcome.
