Its a frustrating business at times for sure, but then again we're spoiled for options with PI. Biggest I've ever attempted was 4x2 on Eta C. Going past 2x2 is always a game changer - good luck H!

Thanks Brett. I really enjoyed shooting AND processing this one. If only they always worked out



Also, some repro and additional Ha image info.
Rick had suggested I pay a bit more attention to the star colours. I've messed about in PI with colour correction scripts for stars with overexposed or stretched centres and masked the effect back in. Mainly some blue stars affected - goal was to get some of the external chroma back into the washed-out centres of the larger stars in particular. Hopefully subtle but slight improvement. Was an interesting learning exercise in any case. In hindsight many of the brighter stars are a bit flat, but I figure its more about the neb in this one anyway.

Also a Ha-only stack, with a quick stretch.
