Description

I have been going back to my NAS and started processing data that I didnt do a good job first time around.

This is an interesting target to process. The data is easy to collect with this being well positioned and bright. The Ha is abundant.. with lots of structure. However,
processing it throws rather interesting challenges. The star clusters in the galaxy itself gives it a crunchy look and star reduction tools completely destroy it. Adding Ha overwhelms the image with red knots all over. Every attempt I did with star removal resulted in weird star artifacts and I finally stuck the "traditional" processing  of L and RGB. Ha was added to both RGB and L and then was processed as regular LRGB image in Pixinsight .

The Ha is added as mouse hover image to show its abundance on this target.


L  - 64x5 mins
R/G/B - 15x5 mins per channel
Ha - 40x10 mins
