Description

Unguided Image taken with ASI178MC (uncooled) CMOS camera from my light polluted home. Work in Progress since I acquired some 2100 Images and stacking/processing in PixInsight takes lots of time and space (almost 1 TeraByte !)

Description: ... less aggressive stretching with ArcSinH this time.
When comparing this with my first version of the image processed in 2018 there is obviously a lot what can be done with the same raw data (learning how to use PixInsight, that is).
With some 2128 frames in the stack this presents a quite hefty workload to my trusted PixInsight workstation (which I did not yet have then in 2018, so processing this this took overnight).
