Title: L-RGB, Ha not used finally

Description: Fully processed in PixInsight, final touches in LightRoom for contrast enhancements mainly.
Comments are welcome, as always.
Note the tiny galaxies at 7-8 hours from the main galaxy core: they started appearing only close to the end of the processing steps!

Title: Different processing approach

Description: L'image a été construite selon cette approche :

1. PixInsight pour le pré-traitement
2. APP pour l'assemblage LHaRGB, la balance des blancs, le retrait de gradient, sauvegarde en linéaire (TIFF)
3. retour dans PI:

* En linéaire:
** starnet V2 pour séparer les étoiles des objets
** réduction des étoiles avec MT
** accentuation de la saturation des objets (CS)
** réassemblage étoiles + objets (pixelmath)
** suppression du vert SCNR
** EZDenoise (TGV Denoise)

* Passage en non-linéaire:
** alternance de HT, Curves, et de CS

* Finalisation :
** LHE sur les objets

4. retouches finales dans LightRoom

Et voilà!
