Description

Preprocessing in PI:
- WBPP for calibration, cosmetization and debayaring
- StarAlignment
- SubframeSelector to find best image by PSF signal and weight
- LocalNormalization using best image by PSF
- ImageIntegration using best image by weight as reference
- DrizzleIntegration using scale of 1 as anything else was generating artifacts in the stars

Processing in PI:
- DynamicCrop
- DBE
- PCC
- EZ soft stretch

Postprocessing:
- CurvesTransformation
- TGVDenoise
- ACDNR
- StarXterminator
- MLT to slightly sharpen image
- LocalHistogramEqualization with RangeSelection masks
- PixelMath to add stars back
- final CurvesTransformation
