Description

I've been shooting a lot with the Optolong l-extreme lately and wanted to try something different from the usual red HOO palette that this filter is known for. I'm really liking this golden HOO palette and will definitely use it a bit more in my next images with this setup.

Preprocessing in PI:
- WBPP for calibration, cosmetization and debayaring
- StarAlignment
- SubframeSelector to find best image by PSF signal and weight
- LocalNormalization using best image by PSF
- ImageIntegration using best image by weight as reference
- DrizzleIntegration using scale of 1 as anything else was generating artifacts in the stars

Processing in PI:
- DynamicCrop
- PixelMath to split into Ha and Oiii layers
- DBE
- LinearFit Oiii using Ha as reference
- EZ soft stretch
- PixelMath to combine into HOO image (stars)
- StarXterminator on Ha and Oiii
- PixelMath to combine into golden HOO image (nebula)

Postprocessing stars:
- LRGBCombination using Ha as luminance
- TGVDenoise
- ACDNR
- StarXterminator
- CurvesTransformation
- SCNR

Postprocessing nebula:
- LRGBCombination using Ha as luminance
- TGVDenoise
- ACDNR
- MLT to slightly sharpen image
- LocalHistogramEqualization with RangeSelection masks
- DarkStructureEnhance
- CurvesTransformation
- PixelMath to stars back
- EZ star reduction
- final CurvesTransformation
