Description

This was a add on project from RGB and Ha data captured in 2021.  I gathered 20h of luminance data in order to bring out some IFN.  I thought this was going to be easier than it was to pull it forward, and it definitely was not easy at all.  I tried to find some kind of a balance with stretching and noise reduction.  The time did add to the original image, but in order to add the IFN the noise level picked up a lot.  Total time on this with all the data is 35 hours, the most I have put into a single target.
