Description

This image was captured over 2 nights
RGB  65 subframes at 90sec each using the Optolong L-Pro
NB 30 subframes at 180 sec each using the Optolong L-Enhance

Processing included using a separate Luminance layer that was extracted from the Lightness channel of the Lab Color mode (Photoshop). This layer was deconvolved, stretched and sharpened. Then pasted onto the Color image (NB or RGB) and blended  together as a luminosty layer.   The color image was  subjected to stretching, saturation boosts and color noise reduction techniques before blending with the Luminance layer.
RGB image processing focused on the stars while th NB image focused on the target.
The final RGB and NB images were blended with the Screen mode in Photoshop.
Final touch-ups to finish-
