I'm at a loss. None of the masking techniques I am comfortable with yield a decent M57 and star background without a nasty delineation between the two.
This was just a couple hours of 240s subs but I wanted to see what I was working with on the first night.
294MC Pro
Calibrated with darks, flats and bias
Employed WBPP, ABEx3, PCC, Histogram, various masks (lum, starnet, range) and no clean result up to that point. I've tried separating all three channels before star removal, then recombining (this did make for a cleaner starless image but no help towards the end goal).
I would love some insights and sincerely appreciate your time.
Drizzled, channel separated files can be found here if you'd like to give it a go:
