Description

Pixinsight Process:
Image Integration: Integrate flats and bias frames.
Image Calibration: Calibrate the flats and bias into the light frames.
Star Alignment: Align light frames in LRGB to a single frame.
CometAlignment: Select blinked frames, check first and last image.
ImageIntegration: Integrate comet images, Image Integration: (Combination: Average, Normalization: Additive with Scaling, Weights: Dont Care (all weights = 1)), Pixel Rejection (1): (Rejection Algorithm: ESD, Normalization: Scale + Zero Offset), Large-Scale Pixel Rejection: enable Reject high large-scale structures.
Comet Alignemt: Take integrated comet images and make sure they are aligned on eachother.
ImageIntegration: Integrate star images, Same settings as comet images, just lower sigma high.
GraXpert: Run GraXpert with Splines for a good background normalization.
EZ Soft Stretch: Run basic settings on EZ Soft Stretch
LRGB Combination: Combine RGB Comet images, check Chrominance NR.
LRGB Combination: Combine RGB Star images, check Chrominance NR.
Starnet2: Extract stars from the image with stars
NoiseXTerminator: Use NoiseXTerminator to reduce noise of the image
CloneStamp: Some bright stars leave bright trails, so clone stamp them away
Range Selection: Mask the comet off from the background in the combined comet image
Convolution: Convolve background in order to greatly reduce the star trailing left behind
NoiseGenerator: With image still masked off, Amplitude: 0.03, Normal (aka Gaussian), adds back noise because background would otherwise be too smooth
SCNR: With background still masked off, run SCNR at 0.35 to take away the chrominance noise NoiseGenerator added in, leaving behind a small grain.
Curves Transformation: Normal S curve to boost contrast.
Color Saturation: Apply color curves to desired saturation.
ACDNR: Run the chrominance noise reduction.
PixelMath: Add stars into comet image.
