Description

This is a study in processing methods on medium-quality data: all images were acquired unguided on a ZenithStar 61ii, Nikon D5600, and Optolong L-pro mounted on a Star Adventurer, using the D5600's built-in interval timer.

The first version used Sequator to process a bit over 480 x 30" taken with a L-pro on a Nikon D5600.

The second version is reprocessed with AstroPixelProcessor on 467 x 30", with a lot of attention paid to nonlinear light gradients. APP was challenging on this one, as it did weird things with my stacks and initially made the Orion Nebula very pink, but I managed to get some good results after further adjustments in photoshop.
