Description

My first "Galaxy Season." Continued experiments with the FLT132/2600MC/Powermate2x combo. I'm surprised by how different each galaxy is and how a processing technique for one doesn't necessarily work for another. This was 80x300". I'm also trying to reduce use of Topaz De Noise and Unsharp Mask in PS to reduce the processing artifacts.

This was processes starless, but I've been trying to get away from the split starless processing because of the artifacts left on the stars by StarNet.
