Been enjoying the hell out of the clear skies recently. Gotten over 100 hours of Deep sky exposure from september through today (This image is exactly 24 hours of exposure time).
**PixInsight Processing:**
* BatchPreProcessing
* SubframeSelector
* StarAlignment
* [Blink](
https://youtu.be/sJeuWZNWImE?t=40)
* ImageIntegration
* DrizzleIntegration (2x, Var β=1.5)
**Linear:**
* DynamicCrop
* AutomaticBackgroundExtraction
* [EZ Decon and Denoise](
https://darkarchon.internet-box.ch:8443/) (Ha only)
* STF applied via HistogramTransformation to bring each channel nonlinear
**Combining Channels:**
* PixelMath to make classic SHO to RGB image
* Greens and magentas partially nuked using SCNR
* Pixelmath to make RGB image using [ForaxX's palette](

> R= (Oiii\^~Oiii)\*Sii + ~(Oiii\^~Oiii)\*Ha
> G= ((Oiii\*Ha)\^~(Oiii\*Ha))\*Ha + ~((Oiii\*Ha)\^~(Oiii\*Ha))\*Oiii
> B= Oiii
* Pixelmath to blend classic and ForaxX SHO images 50:50
**Nonlinear:**
* LRGBCombination with Ha as luminance
* Shitloads of [Curve](
https://i.imgur.com/eyYJJiB.jpg)Transformations to adjust lightness, saturation, contrast, hues, etc
* SCNR to remove greens
* ACDNR
* LocalHistogramTransformation
* DarkStructureEnhance
* More curves
* DarkStructureEnhance
* EZ Star Reduction
* Slept on the [Version 1 image](
https://i.imgur.com/8qvl2pu.png) for a few days, then returned and did further curves to bring it to the current final image
* Resample to 73%
* Annotation
