Description

I would love to hear your comments, hints, tips, dislikes etc. so I can further improve myself.

This time I’ve added a few new things to my workflow and tried multiple Pixinsight processes for the first time.

1. Dithering

2. Superbias

3. Drizzle

I’ve also tried to stay away from automatic scripts. No Photoshop. PixInsight only with a final small touch from Topaz Denoise.
