Description

A quite bright NGC galaxy that can compete with many Messier objects in terms of brightness. I like the bar structure and the many blue stars in the two arms.
I used my typical PI workflow including the following steps. Any input to improve is welcome
Linear range
  • DynamicCrop
  • DBE
  • SNCR + SPCC (still having a slight green cast after SPCC)
  • Deconvolution (PSFImage, AdvStarmask, luminance mask)

Stretching:
  • MaskedStretch
  • Arcsinh + HistoTrans

Finishing
  • NoiseXTerminator with standard stettings
  • MorphoTrans on stars to reduce size
  • HDR with mask over Gx
  • LocalHistogramTransomation
  • CurvesTransformation
