Description

This is my first time processing Flaming Star Nebula, and using the Pixinsight's new SPCC color calibration and Russ Croman's StarXterminator AI plugin. I am very excited to see the white portion of the nebula standing out from the background, which I purposely kept somewhat muted.

The data was provided by fellow Astrobin member AnthonyQ (Anthony Quintile)  via Adam Block Studios as part of  Adam's FastTrack training.  Anthony collected the subs in Feb 2022 at his backyard in Flagstaff Az area. I have added Adam Block as a collaborator in respect for his excellent online training videos and helping provide the data. That said, Adam had no direct input into my processing of this image.

All processing and post processing was done by myself using tools in PI including StarXterminator plugin.  The version 2.0.5. StarXterminator I used left some artifacts behind the 6 brightest stars which I then removed. I submitted my data to Russ Croman to include in his next AI training session.
