Description

Really Difficult Target

I tried really hard to get rid of the stars using multiple methods- I want to work at tone mapping but had no luck with anything usable in Pixinsight using pixel math to combing star masks or with photoshop dust and scratches method.

My asi1600 which have been really happy with seems to have a problem with bright stars in the field... there is so much lensing it makes processing these kind of images really difficult.

I felt like I've made good progress with Pixinsight but after trying to make this image work for a few hours, I just gave up and processed this in photoshop.

Maybe ill try the starless approach on another image soon.

I think I move back to doing some easier, brighter, narrowband targets for a while and keep practicing.
