Description

Was able to finally get a second night in and get a few more hours of data on this target. This is my initial process with some different approaches thrown in to try and pull out the strands in the middle of the loop. Most of the processing is done with Raw Camera Filter in PS. Very light noise reduction (Topaz - Severe - NR - 2 / Sharpening - 4 - Auto had it at 7 / 21 respectively). I used Starnet++ to get a starless version near the end of processing then took all three color channels from the starless version and used them as a luminance separately. So yes, three separate layers used for luminance. More of an experiment. I will be working on the final process over the next couple of days. Because of the complexity of this region for me, I want to try a totally different approach.
