Description

Here is my attempt on an LHaRGB Messier 63, I stacked the images in APP and postprocessed in PI. Even though the color calibration is very very good in APP I think the photometry color calibration from PI has a slight advantage over it. Also in PI I can stay linear a bit longer with noise reduction etc ... However APP is sooo much easier and faster to use, also the stacking results seem (very subjectively) better to me so it seems I need both in the future ;) Let me know what you think!
