Description

This is a re-processed version of data I gathered 3 months back. It's been cloudy lately and I was never quite satisfied with the original processing. Much more pleased with it this time around.

I also had a chance to try out AstroSharp AI by deepskydetail. I'm really please to see an open-source project like this. I've been very intrigued by the idea of BlurXterminator but I'm not a PixInsight user. AstroSharp produces fairly impressive results. The main downsides are that it makes stars look over-sharpened, doesn't reduce star size at all, and can emphasise noise. I work around these limitations by applying it after star removal and applying noise removal afterward. I'm excited to watch this project grow and improve.
