PixInsight: WBPP, Normalized scale gradient, image integration. Implemented BlurXTerminator by RC ASTRO, NoiseXTerminator, EZ Soft Stretch, HDR Multiscale Transform to tame down the blown out core, Starnet 2 to obtain starless and starmask. Export TIFF and import to Affinity Photo 2.

AF2: Affinity's Remove Background feature, Color saturation, isolated nebula and performed a live clarity filter, isolated background and did a light gaussian blur to blend the chroma noise, color range luminosity with HSL to brighten outer nebula whisps.
