Hi all,
Struggling a bit with the processing on this one. Not much colour coming out of the galaxy and lots of noise. Probably just need more exposures but have non-trivial quantity already.

I am happy with how much of the further extends of the galaxy I've retained after putting some RGB on it.
First tried LRGB combine in PI but that killed a lot of fainter detail, obviously yet to work out the ay PI does LRGB. Then applied Luminance to RGB in PS and that worked much better, at least not killing the detail.
Register, integration and DBE in PI. The rest in PS. Star shrink, noise, sharpening, etc.
Regards,
Roger.
