Hi Mark,

I did a PDF version of mine a few years back but it would need an update before posting. In reality I just have a rough order of operations which I tweak and augment depending on what the image needs.

For LRGB it's something like:

Raw subs: Blink/discard bad subs; SubframeSelector discard bad subs/weight remainder on FWHM/Eccentricity/SNR; BPP calibrate; register; integrate

Lum: DBE if needed; decon if needed; light noise reduction; HT stretch; star reduction; HDRMT/LHE if needed, blended back with original; MLT sharpen

RGB: combine channels; DBE if needed; colour calibration, usually PCC; light noise reduction; HT stretch, sometimes combined with some Arcsinh stretch; heavier noise reduction, especially chrominance if needed; clipped lum mask/Curves saturation boost

LRGB: combine L and RGB; final contrast adjustment

Have you seen Jim Morse's PI crib sheet? He hasn't done an update for a while but it's a great collection of useful PI info. PM me and I can email you a copy.

Cheers,
Rick.
