Description

Processing Details:
Image Integration: Integrate flats and dark frames.
Image Calibration: Calibrate the flats and darks into the light frames.
Star Alignment: Align light frames in LRGB to a single frame.
Blink: Allows to pick out the bad frames with lights from cars, planes, or just plain old nasty haze.
ImageIntegration: Integrate LRGB images
Drizzle Integration: I do 1x drizzle since my pixels are tiny, but I noticed that 1x drizzle helps with noise a little.
AutomaticBackgroundExtractor: Too much nebulocity in the frame to get a decent DBE, so I used ABE instead on all LRGB files.
EZ Denoise: Apply normal denoise from EZ Denoise to luminance data. (https://darkarchon.internet-box.ch:8443/)
Pixel Math: Combine denoised luminance to normal luminance. (0.5*Denoised+0.5*Luminance)
ArcsinhStretch: Stretch the luminance with ArcsinhStretch to get more contrast when stretching.
HistogramTransformation: Normal histogram stretch after Arcsinh to luminance.
HistogramTransformation: Stretch RGB data to generally the same background and intensity.
LRGBCombination: Combine only the RGB files, including Chrominance Noise Reduction.
Convolution: Convolve the RGB data till no noise is visible.
ColorSaturation: Boost those beautiful colors!
CurvesTransformation: Apply a general S curve to boost that contrast.
SCNR: SCNR Green is applied to reduce the green color. There is no green in space! ;)
LRGBCombination: Apply luminance data to the RGB data.
CurvesTransformation: Play with luminance curve and saturation curves to get the perfect colors.
Sandbox: Ah, did I mention that I do just nothing at all? ;D
