Hello,

I did a basic processing job on this stack of 21 subs of 10 minutes each. Repeated histogram and curves adjustment with one luminance masked ACDNR and an SCNR added for good measure. I corrected 3 bad columns and a bunch of hot pixels with a tool I wrote myself. As a result I needed only a few clone stamps to smush remaining artifacts. My flats are getting a little old so I'll have to redo them. You can see some dust artifacts here and there.

Ugh, this forum still doesn't allow dynamic image so here's a link to my gallery.

Nice object, I'll give it a try. :D

I see the stars a little plain, try to give them with a star mask a gaussian shape with erosion. I think you can show more nebula, with the proper mask.

This is a try:

Hi Sergio,

thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that. I'm typically not a fan of any process that modifies stars besides normal curves and levels but this looks pretty good.
