Description

This is 19 hours of Ha/O3 data with the SW120 refractor at F/5.2. 50x600s Ha and 64x600s O3. For processing I applied Mure denoise on the original master for both filters then directly made a basic HOO. Applied ABE then a pass at mlt noise reduction. Stretched a factor of 272 with arc-sin stretch then made a cyan colormask in PI. Also made a star mask and subtracted the starmask from the colormask and applied to image where I slightly increased blue and decreased green with curves. Then I applied the starmask and using curves desaturated the stars. Did a little mild contrast enhancement and cropped a good bit. Slightly reduced stars and gave a final touch of ACD denoise.
