Description

Here, we have my attempt at IC 2574 located in Ursa Major, part of the M81 group of galaxies. 

This has been a tough image to process, involving many many hours of wrangling, head banging and just pulling the plug on my PC. Deciding how to put together the different channels is still a challange as I am still losing a lot of colour when applying the Lum Channel, but I think I am getting there. I tried the new AI driven AstroSharp which is a free deconvolution tool, it introduced a bit too much noise for my liking but conversely, Topaz denoise was introducing artefacts so avoided both and continued with a grainy-like image, quite like it.

Hope you like too.
