Description

I don't name them folks.
This is a 4 night project of a section of Barnard's Loop.  It is approximately 8 hours of OSC data with 5 hours of narrow band (Ha only added).
Here are the broad stokes of my processing:
OSC data: WBPP (drizzlex1)>GraXpert>SPCC>BTX>NXT>GHS
NB data: WBPP (drizzlex1>)GraXpert>SPCC>BTX>NXT>GHS

Star Alignment> Split RBG channels of both images

Linear fit the 2 red channels > PixelMath  and STX on Ha R to isolate R more>PixelMath to combine Ha to OSC
STX> adjust stars and nebula separately as per taste with mask/Curves/HDRM/Photoshop>screen images for final image>photoshop touchups
