Makes sense. So, this time, I will try to fit to SII instead of OIII. At any rate, it can't hurt to try.
Hi H,

Sounds reasonable but the weakest channel still needs to be stretched to match the others for a good colour balance so the noise is going to get increased anyway. That's another thing addressed in JPM's tone mapping technique - you can do a heavy noise reduction on the weak channels.

Will do! There is an example of its use here: https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=7751.0

Cheers,
