Description

I've always been captivated by the darker regions of the Rosette Nebula. In this closeup, I've captured my favorite filament (elephant trunk?) in it. 

Preprocessing in PI:
- WBPP for calibration and cosmetization
- SubframeSelector to find best image by PSF signal
- StarAlignment
- NormalizedScaleGradient
- ImageIntegration
- IntegerResample to get bin2 images

Processing in PI:
- DynamicCrop
- DBE
- EZ decon on Ha
- LinearFit Oiii and Sii using Ha as reference
- STF and HT to stretch images
- StarXterminator
- PixelMath to combine into starless SHO image for nebula

Postprocessing stars:
- Remove stretch on Ha and Oiii
- Combine Ha and Oiii
- PCC
- STF and HT to stretch image
- CurvesTransformation
- SCNR
- Starnet to extract cleaner stars than StarXterminator
- HT to reduce noise around stars a bit more

Postprocessing Nebula:
- LRGBCombination using Ha as reference
- TGVDenoise
- ACDNR
- MLT to slightly sharpen image
- LocalHistogramEqualization with RangeSelection masks
- DarkStructureEnhance
- CurvesTransformation
- PixelMath to add stars back
