Description: This is just the de-noised version of the image. An hour or so after uploading the original, my hard drive crashed and I lost everything except the image uploaded here. I originally processed it in APP, and there is no de-noise tool as of yet. Since then, I've decided to give Pixinsight a try, so I loaded up the full res jpeg and ran a de-noise process which seemed to do a decent job.

Title: 2022 version with new luminance
Description: If you check out the original image, you’ll see the story that goes with it where I lost the raw data after a HD crash. Well this year my friend Ron thought it might be a good idea for him to try and shoot some C 11 luminance on either NGC 7331 or the quintet for me to combine with my original image, but had a couple projects to finish first. In the meantime I figured I should try a new luminance myself, since I upgraded my luminance filter from the ZWO, to the Astronomik L3 luminance which greatly reduces star bloat with my scope. So using the original image from last year as an RGB image, I then gathered a new luminance from my parents bortle 4 home when the moon wasn’t out, and used it as a luminance for the original image. I was blown away by the increase in details, and it almost makes me feel guilty that the original was picked for August 2021s APOM on Astrospheric. It makes me wonder if the original data was taken under seeing that much worse, or if it was simply because I didn’t know all the processing tricks back then. It’s a shame I’ll never find out, but I’m quite happy with this improvement none the less!
