Description

Raw frames courtesy of Deep Sky West Remote Observatory in New Mexico, USA. (deepskywest.com) Data obtained with FSQ 106EDXiii / QSI683wsg / Lodestar / Paramount MyT.

7.5 hrs integration (15x600s R, 15x600s G, 15x600s B)

The initial image was intended as an example of morphological field star reduction applied ahead of MaskedStretch. But MaskedStretch already deemphasizes fainter field stars. So the second version shows the result of MaskedStretch alone - without any morphological field star reduction applied. As such, it is a more realistic image. You be the judge of which looks better...
