Description:
Used Adaptive Stretch and Starnet
Used starnet to get an image without the stars - used this to create a luminance mask - then used range mask on the lum mask so ended up with a fairly isolated nebula mask.
Was then able to raise overall brightness and saturation fairly exclusively in the nebula.
As final image is too large - having to load up jpg version instead of normal 32 bit png

Description:
Third times the charm.
Combination of clouds and broken ankle mean that i am reprocessing some old data with new info and techniques (not sure if they would be classed as improvements - but that is in the eye of the beholder)
new methods:
1: WBPP - go as far as debayer for each panel separately
2: Use Sub Frame Selector on debayered files to work out which subs i should use. Was very fussy about Eccentricity, Star Count, FWHM
3: Resubmit the newly selected subs to WBPP to produce 9 separate panels
4: Script - Mosaic By Coordinates
5: Script - Trim Mosaic Tiles
6: Split into separate RGB channels
7: Use dnaLinearFit using center panel as reference for all 3 separate channels
8: Use Gradient Merge Mosaic process with a shrink radius of 6 and a feature radius of 120 for each of the RGB panels to produce a 3 separate mosaics (RGB)
9: Channel Combine RGB
10: Dynamic Crop to remove mosaic edges
11: Separate channels again and apply ABE on all 3 before re-combining
12: Photometric Color Calibration
13: Script - EZ Denoise
14: Script - EZ Soft Stretch
15: Script - EZ Star Reduction (Colour image)
16: Extract Luminance layer and use Histogram Transformation to darken the black areas
17: Use LRGB Combination on the colour image using rhe Luminance layer just produced and the RGB disabled, the Saturation was set to 0.3.
18 Repeat 17 until colours became brighter
