Dragons of ARA 4.5 hours acquisition and reprocess
Added another 2 hours from a different night to the originals , also added HA extracted from the L-Enhance filter using Astropixel processor. Used Deepskystacker for the stacking and hours on Photoshop. Also used starnet ++ to extract the stars and then blended them altogether Hope this gets some feedback for improvement or otherwise thanks.
Hmmm - kinda looks painterly, which is interesting
However, most of the intricate details have been lost, maybe too much NR?
Stars have dark rings around them as well - no easy task to layer them back in, are you doing that in PS?
If so , maybe try them in lighten blend mode.
Takes a while to get this stuff refined, and your images improve more every time, well done!
