NGC1365. This is my third try at processing the data from Snake Valley Astro Camp 2 weeks ago.
Unfortunately the Luminance data ended up being unuseable, artifacts from were not being removed by the flats and so ended up using a Lum extracted channel from the RGB image to create this LRGB. Taken with Celestron Edge HD 8" scope with 0.7 reducer, Moonlite Lightcrawler focuser, Atik One 6.0 camera with Astronomik LRGB filters, Atik GP guidecamera, Atik OAG, Orion Atlas AZEQ-G mount. Processed in Pixinsight with a couple of tiny Photoshop tweaks.

Looks good! Who needs luminance anyway.

A bit soft but quite nice, Malcolm.

Sweet. There's some nice detail extending out along the spiral arms.

Thanks Rick
I am finding getting the balance between Noise reduction and retaining sharpness in PI the main challenge ATM.
