-----------------------------------

Pre-Processing:
WBPP for calibration
Batch format conversion of calibrated images
SubFrame Selection
Registration of all against best Ha Frame
Integration of SHO channels with Automatic Normalisation

Linear Stage:
All S, H, O channels:
Dynamic crop of all to suit trim of combined data edges
ABE of each chn (Interpol function = 1, subtract, no normilization)

Ha data only:
EzDecon (Itt=135, Pixmath=10, defaults for rest of settings)
EzDenoise (defaults)
HT stretch from SFT after LRGB combine!

SHO:
LRGB combine in SHO
Image solved
Photometric calibration Narrowband SHO R=672 G=656.30 B=500.70 all 7mm

HT based on STF stretch
SCNR
LRGB Combo to add H to lum channel

Description: as prev version but with...
Lum mask (RGBWS=1,1,1,1 and HT with low = -0.5 High = 1.5 and adjust mid point to center output peak)
HDRMultiscaleTransform Layers 6 Iterations 2
Curves K S curve with large boost around 60% and small saturation boost.
ACDNR
LocalHistogramEqualisation (Kernal = 188, contrast=1.5 Amount = 0.65, Resolution 8bit)
Darkstructure Enhance script (defaults)
EzStarReduction

Description: Some more data added and image rotated - I can now see a Wizard!

Still some OIII data to collect to balance out now it's coming back in to view...
