I took the rotators off my scopes a while back and since I shoot several targets a night, the position angle "is what it is."
I was pleasantly surprised that my default PA did this nice framing of both the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae.

This was shot over multiple nights in the summer of 2023.  Acquisition was with Voyager Advanced, which uses an
intelligent scheduler to decide which targets to select and image at any given time, based on constraints I specify like
moon separation and hour angle +/- transit.  I usually tell it to shoot between -2 and +2 hours of the meridian, which 
tends to get objects at their best elevation from my location.

These are bright objects, especially the Lagoon. Pixinsight's Generalized Histogram Stretch did a nice job of not blowing
out the core while still maintaining a bit of the glow from that bright area.  

Russell Croman's BlurXTerminator and NoiseXTerminator PixInsight plugins do such a great job - they really speed up the
early phase of processing.  Much easier to use than Deconvolution and the various noise reduction processes in PI.

The processing flow looked like this:

SiriL + GESS to calibrate - I do this daily after acquisition and it automates the entire calibration process.
Load calibrated frames into WBPP and get the masters
ABE and DBE on the individual LRGB masters.  When you image over so many nights, the gradients are complex and it took
a few different passes before I felt I had reduced the gradients sufficiently.  It's tricky in an area with a lot of nebulosity
because gradients and nebulosity look much the same in your monochrome masters.

SPCC for color calibration
NoiseXT and BlurXT
Generalized Histogram Stretch following Adam Block's tutorials

Then the L master went through NoiseXT, BlurXT and GHS.

LRGBCombination
Curves to increase brightenss, contrast and color saturation
LHE and HDRMT to bring out detail
Some more curves

Done!

The image in PixInsight on my monitor always looks more vivid than the JPG uploaded here.  Probably just part of compression?

Thanks for stopping by!
