Description

Captured 9-7-21 right around the new moon, this is 79, 90" light frames. This object does not stay in my FOV for very long as does most objects at my home location. 

Stacked in PI with 30 flats, darks and bias frames. Star reduction (dimming/shrinking) was done in Star Tools but the major processing in PixInsight. After touch up in Corel Photo-Paint X5. Star removal was also done in Star Tools to work on the object alone.

This removal process takes a LOOOONG time on my aging computer. I think almost 3 hours? Artifacts left over from star shrinking and repairing is also a time consuming process to fix in this dense star field. That is always done in Corel Photo-Paint X5. I have been using Corel products since 1995.
