Description

This image is the tail end of NGC1499 California Nebula. I am using a 30 day trial of Astro Pixel Processor and decided to preprocess my subs with this and it worked great. I then switched to PixInsight to process.

Star Alignment – Dynamic Crop – Automatic Background Extraction – MultiscaleLinearTransformation – PixelMath – HistogramTransformation – CurveTransformation – Starhalo reduction script

Switched to PhotoPad for color enhancement and some more noise reduction.

I would really like some creative criticism of my workflow and the resulting image.
