Description

I used BlurXTerminator on this image and it definitely brought out some detail in the nebula, so I am very pleased with this tool and will use it regularly, I shot RGB stars for this target and applied BlurXTerminator to the RGB image  before spitting out the stars. After processing the starless SHO image, I combined it with the RGB stars and applied some of Bill Blanshan's star reduction tool to deemphasize the thousands of stars in the image.
