Description

Happy New Year to everybody!

A first version of M45

More processing is needed. Especially, I have to fix the problem with the star cores that occured during Deconvolution. Any hints for processing are welcome ...

Stay well and CS

Description: I went back several steps and run Repaired HSV Separation with optimized settings. Then I used a star mask during deconvolution to prevent the star cores from oversaturation. The noise reduction was done in serveral steps including TGVDenoise and MMT in the linear range and then MMT after stretching. I used diferent setting to rmve the noise on different wavelet layers. The final touch included MorphoTrans and Curves with the proper masks for stars and background, respectively.
I'm quite statisfied with it ... ;-)
