Description

I consider this to be my first "long and involved" project/target, and I think it paid off for all of the effort. I shot the images over 3 nights using only my RGB filters and made a synthetic luminance channel by combining the RGB with pixelmath. I also shot 120x15s RGB for proper colored stars, but also included these short frames in the main RGB WBPP since they contained some minor nebula detail as well.

Description: Had to try a revision on this one after watching a video on youtube by @lukomatico on "The BEST star reduction tool ever", and its very quick and easy to use! I was also able to bring out slightly more of the blue channel without too much noise.
