Description

Shot this one with almost every filter to play with various color combinations

PreProcessing:
 - WBPP with Darks, Flats, Cosmic Correction
 - Subframe Weights, Star Align
 - LocalNorm, Drizzle Integration

Housekeeping:
 - Crop
 - DBE
 - LFit G, B to R
 - Channel Combine RGB

RGB Processing:
 - Magenta Star Fix, default
 - PCC
 - SCNR 40%
 - Decon for Nebula using H settings, mask

Hα/Luminance Processing (S, H, O):
 - Decon for H only targeting nebula
 - Decon for H targeting stars (with large stars removed from mask)
 - StarNet for S, O
 - LFit S, O to H
 - Rista TGVD, MMT to S, H, O
 - Isolated and Blended O, S into H to form Master Luminance

NB Blending:
 - Combined Narrowband data using LRGB to form 5 images of varying mixtures: RGB (minimal NB blend with BB stars), NB intensities visually matched to RGB color, NB applied in "accurate" combination, purely aesthetic/traditional HOO combination, and SHO
 - Ran BN using small preview
 - Rista TGVD, MMT
 - One more pass BN using small preview
 - Rista TGVD, MMT NR
 - ArcSinH stretch

LRGB Processing:
 - ACDNR, custom masks for each blend
 - LRGB Combination using Hα as Luminance
 - HDRMT using Range Mask to "un-clip" brighter Hα areas
 - Adam Block Star Reduction (RGB, )
 - MT for further star reduction (RGB, SHO)
 - Dark Structure Enhance (RGB, SHO)
