Description

Captured from my light polluted rooftop within 2 nights. An impressive 1 degree of night sky, at the Pegasus constellation with a LOT of galaxies, the most bright/closest of them being the NGC7331 at 45 million light years away.

Post&Pre in Pixinsight.

Pre process: WBPP for image calibration, Subframe selector /Star Allignment with drizzle data generation, Image Integration and Drizzle 2x.

Post process: DBE/PCC/Masked Stretch. Starnet 2 to separate the Stars and add saturation/MT/Motion Blur Deconvolution on them to correct guiding issues. Curves on starless/color saturation and PixelMath to pute them together, with a final touch od ACDNR and NoiseXterminator (0.4 nr/0.15 detail).

If someone told me one year prior to today, that it is posssible to capture this from my B8-9 rooftop,I would call them crazy, not as a good as I would wanted it ,but quite passable
