Description

M33, taken from Bortle 7 backyard.  Optolong UVIR cut for RGB, UHC for luminance, L-Enhance for highlights.

Original:
  1. DSS: Stack
  2. Siril: RGB/UHC/L-Enhance aligned, cropped, background extraction, and color calibrated
  3. Starnet++: Remove stars from RGB and L-Enhance
  4. GIMP:
    1. Stretch RGB/UHC/L-Enhance with masking to bring out highlights,
    2. Create composite image with desat. UHC as Normal (luminance), RGB as L-Chroma, L-Enhance as L-Chroma layers
    3. Final stretch of composite
    4. Noise reduction

Rev1:
  1. DSS: Stack
  2. Siril: RGB/UHC/L-Enhance aligned, cropped, background extraction
  3. Pixinsight: DBE, SPCC, BlurXterminator, NoiseXterminator, StarXterminator, GHS. UHC Only: extract luminance channel
  4. GIMP:
    1. Stretch starless RGB/UHC/L-Enhance images to bring out highlights
    2. Desaturate background and saturate galaxy with light masking
    3. Create composite image with UHC as normal (luminance), RGB as L-Chroma, L-Enhance as L-Chroma, RGB stars as Screen layers
    4. Final stretch of composite
