Description

A few more nights here in New England and I luckily got more stellar data within the Cygnus constellation.  This was 2 nights of capture and second light for the Photoline 130 giving ~5 hours of decent data worth processing.  Only used Ha and SII Astronomik 6 nm bandpass 2" filters' data, OIII had poor signal to noise and was not processed.

They were stacked and calibrated with PI after Subframe selection and Blink for individual frame selection.  For both channels:  Did a DBE, EZ Denoise (& duplicated the Ha here for the Lum), masked stretch, StarNet for star removal, and channel combined using PixelMath (Ha = R, 0.6Ha + 0.4 Sii = G, Sii = B).  The duplicated Ha Lum was Background Neutralized, MLT, EZ soft stretched, LHT, MMT, Star reduced with MorphTrans, and LRGB combined with the PixelMath RGB image. Curves and Color saturation modified to taste with masks.
