Description

Decided to shoot this again with Rokinon lens, which did really excellent giving me nice round stars.  Shooting at f/2 is not advisable with my filters, but it seems to be working fine so far.

Pixinsight steps
Starting with each Ha/OIII/SII master:
  1. Crop
  2. DBE
  3. MLT Noise reduction
  4. Pixelmath to join Ha/OIII/SII channels into single image
  5. Background Neutralization
  6. Photometric Color Calibration
  7. Histogram Transform
  8. ACDNR (noise reduction)
  9. Histogram Transform (again)
  10. Starnet to remove stars
  11. Curves to saturate nebula
  12. DBE to remove gradient in nebula
  13. Exponential transformation on the nebula
  14. Pixelmath to rejoin stars
  15. Exponential transformation again
  16. Resample down by 2x for saving (12MB PNG file; without this step the file was 45MB!)
