Description

This is heavily cropped image of Arp116 (FL=2350x2.5 mm). Image solving of PixInsight did not work on the cropped image. So, I circled unidentified galaxies with green ring (version B). Exception is the dwarf galaxy M60-UDC1. Processing is the same as Arp116.

Processing:
RGB are combined.
Cropping for RGB and Lum
Color Colib for RGB
Blur and Noise XT for RGB and Lum
Manual stretching (with HT) RGB and Lum
LRGB 
Noise XT again
Stretching again
Star XT. These stars have been saved. 
Simple Lum mask 
Local Histogram Equalization: Kernel radius of 40 and then 150
Multiscale-median transform for sharpness. 
Curves: saturation and brightness are manipulated.
Mask off.
Saturated stars are added.
Done
