Description

Sky Watcher Star Adventurer + Canon 1300D astromod+ Jupiter 21m 200mm f4/@5.6 + SvBony CLS EOS clip filter
80% from 159 x 60s ISO 1600 + + 177 x 60s ISO 1600 ~5,5h
20x2 darks
20x2 bias
20x2 flats
Stacked in DeepSkyStacker

PixInsight LE:
- background alignment
- color calibration
- stretching the material
- light saturation

I used StarNet ++ to remove stars. I did 2 layers in Gimp (starless + normal), gave Opacity to 35% with stars and raised some Saturation (HueSaturatuon) on the layer without stars, merged and then in Adobe Lightroom Android Free I reduced the noise slightly and increased the blacks + increased clarity and slightly removed the fogging.
In current/final version I used Astrophotography Tools Action Set for Photoshop to improve image.
