Wow... I have already seen this same object imaged by you but without all of the detail you have captured in this current one. Then, if you don't mind, I have the following questions:
1- Your capture of luminance accounts for 880 minutes total. How long time for each individual sub frame?
2- Did PixInsight actually help more in which phase: pre or post processing ?
Please feel free if you don't want to answer the second question.
Best Regards,
Fernando

Thanks for the kind words - I have always enjoyed this group very much!
Answer to the questions:
(1) 20 minute sub frames (44 total)
(2) All of my calibrations are done in CCDstack (I like very much to see what is being rejected) and most of the finish work is done is PS CC. This is the first image in many years that I tried PI and I used it to scale color and to mess with the contrast. There is a swath of IFN in the image that I used DBE on to help remove as I did not want it to distract.
Kindest Regards,
