Description

The project was targeted to emphasize the Cygnus Wall as the main object of interest. After using PixInsight WBPP 2.1 to combine subframes from two nights, an SHO combination in RGB was performed with 100% weight in each channel, no blending.

As a new test of processing, StarNet star removal was performed on the combined image, and denoise processes, sharpening and color adjustments were performed on the starless master. The resultant colors seemed more vibrant and produced less star halo artifacts than normally seen when doing the workflow with a dense star field present.  The final morphed down stars were then added back from a Luminance extracted frame from the original channel combination. While not perfectly artifact free, this route was able to yield emphasis on the nebulous details, without the distraction of large non-RGB stars.
