Description

This is my first narroband image. I have changed my entire setup to narrowband. Still learning, but pretty happy with the result so far.

my processing pipeline in pixinsight after integration: 

1- combine with pixlmath R= h, G= 0.3*H+0.7*O, B=o
2- dynamic crop
3- DBE
4- very soft MLT on luminance channel 
5- histogram stretch 
6- Arcsinhstretch 
7- motion deconvolution to fix stars 
8- remove stars (starXterminator)
9- TGV denoise 
10- further denoise ATrouswavelet Transform (strongly masked image)
11- color saturation on nebula
12- desaturate the stars
13- add back teh stars (pixelmath)
14- deconvolution (parametric PSF) to tighten up the stars 
15- MLT sharpening 

I had a few hours of RGB as well, but I liked the narroband data much better!
