Description

48 frames in L (180 seconds) and R, G, B (120) seconds for a total integration time of just under 2 hours on the night of July 11the 2021, taken at Table Mountain (6500 ft) near Ellensburg, Washington. After using the grading tool in Sequence Generator Pro and discarding a few frames, I used a pretty standard Pixinsight workflow (Warren Keller) but used the Autocolor script to replace the background neutralization and color calibration steps, PSFimage to create my Point Spread support Image for Deconvolution and HDRMultiscale transform on a Luminance extract of the final image as the mask for Morphological Transform (Star size reduction).
