Description

The LRGB data for this image are from Telescope.live.  The telescope (Planewave CDK 24) is located in Chile and is equipped with a QHY 600M camera (bin 2).   The total exposure for all filters was just over 2.8 hours.  Pixinsight was used for processing with minor adjustments in Photoshop.  A key step was to run a linear fit on B and G against R.  This removed the strong blue cast to the original RGB.   All masters were used to create the super luminance which was used to form the LRGB image.  Lastly, Bill Blanshan's method 1 was used to reduce the star density in the image.  Otherwise, normal processing.
