Description

Amazing globular cluster in centaurus taken with chilescope #2

12 x 300s Luminance

5 x 300s Red

5 x 300s Green

6 x 300s Blue

I only vaguely understand what I did but I managed to make this image look nice after a lot of time in PixInsight. Originally I was getting these terrible gradients cause the moon 65% or so after 12 in chile when taking this. There were like a terrible red and blue background. I learned a lot through this one.

Here is what I did:

StarAlignment

ImageIntegration

DynamicBackgroundExtraction

Deconvolution on Luminance

LRGBCombination

BackgroundNeutralization

HistogramTransformation

SCNR

CurveTransformations

HDRMultiscaleTransform

MultiscaleMedianTransform

MorphologicalTransformation

Convolution
