Description

I used PCC and then BlurXTerminator for deconvolution, NoiseXTerminator for denoising, MaskedStretch for stretching, Starnet for star removal (so I could apply different curves on stars + background) and a very moderate filmic effect in Darktable. 

AI made the processing of this image much easier (but it is also an easy target with very good SNR, even from the very first session that had just 18 2-minute subs). AI is good stuff, it allows me to focus on exploring space instead of exploring process parameters. 

I also tried AI gradient removal with GraXPert but AstropixelProcessor's "Remove Light Pollution" tool gave significantly better results. With less effort, as a matter of fact.
