Is there ANY way

Any way to make an astrophoto taken in light pollution areas look even remotely 3 dimensional?NO matter WHICH contrast and tonality tricks I try I simply CANNOT make my images look not flat.

The UHC and LP filter HELPS somewhat, but still appear a bit flat looking to me - and most stars turn an awful green-blue shade which is a real PITA to fix. Maybe try filtering through an OIII filter? Or will that exacerbate the hue issues?

I've done LRGB images of brightish targets from inner Brisbane suburbs that looked reasonable. You need good tools for dealing with gradients (PixInsight's DynamicBackgroundExtraction does it for me) and you need a lot more data than you would at a dark site. The skyglow itself isn't a problem but the noise inherent in it is.

I haven't ever used LPR filters. An OIII filter will only help if you're doing narrowband.

Cheers,
Rick.
