Description

All processing done in Pixinsight. I used HDR Multiscale Transform on the Ha data which really made the objects come into focus. The SII and OIII data were fairly weak so I had to do some pretty aggressive noise reduction on them, through a combination of MLT and TGV Denoise.

B

Description: More aggressive processing of the OIII channel, and a different SHO blend in PixelMath. I could really benefit from more SII data here, but that won't be happening any time soon.

C

Description: Even more aggressive denoise in the S and O channels using MLT. Lesson of the day is blurring the S and O to death improves the final image, at least when you're a bit starved for data like I am here. I also left more "green" tint on this go because I like how the SII shines in the Flaming Star when you don't do a full SCNR.

D

Description: Clipped the OIII to get rid of the gradient in the left corner completely. This shrunk the OIII in the Flaming Star, but you can barely see it anyway so I figured it wasn't much of a loss. Also did a bit more aggressive SCNR because I wasn't liking the green tinge of the last revision.
