Description

This is a reprocess of old data, my original Pleiades data from back in 2014. My original attempt to process this data utilized only 3.5 hours of data out of a grand total of ~11 hours that I eventually acquired over subsequent months. The data, spanning such a broad range of time, ended up with a number of discrepancies that I was unable to resolve when I attempted to process the full data set back then, with my limited skills.

Armed with vastly superior knowledge of PixInsight today, I tried reprocessing it once again. Using better culling with SubframeSelector and better integration with PixInsight, I stacked over 9 hours of data to produce this new version.
