Description

Data collected over 2 years during 4 astroparties for a few hours each time: 2x Astrozloty (22, 23) and 2x OZMA (22, 23). I just never got around to processing it - hence "stale" in the title.. I might have lost some data as well, because in the end, I only had less than 10 hours of exposition time.

Decided to try out BlurXterminator, NoiseXterminator and StarXterminator combo. I'm very impressed with these tools. Although I did encounter some problems with BlurXterminator oversaturating star centers, even in linear phase. Couldn't get it to work with masking either. In the end I had to use HistogramTransformation on bright stars.

Main work done in PixInsight. Final touches in Lightroom.
