Description: Okay. Final one. I really sat down and spent a lot of time in PixInsight. Did a synthetic LRGB combination with linear fits of the color channel. and Local histogram transformations of the Luminance channel. Finally feel Like I am getting somewhere. Unfortunately still have weird color and stacking artifacts in the stars.
