Description

A classic globular cluster - M53; and an irregular globular cluster NGC5053.

Image was a pleasure to process. The sensor - QHY268m - provided nice clean data.
Calibration used NSG and included Drizzle.
Linear processing: Luminance used DBE, just a touch of LHE and UnsharpMask / RGB just DBE and PCC.
Stretched using both GHS and HT.
Non-Linear processing: Curves with masks from StarMask and Game script.
