My Aurora Flatfield Panel arrived during the week so I managed to gather flats for all filters when I was out on Sunday night, so I decided to reprocess the whole first light data set from the start...and they have made a difference.
With the excitement of the new scope under control
and armed with the flats, this time I was more careful and controlled in my processing, kept the colour saturated halos at bay, improved the registration, used no sharpening (just DDP), noise reduction or gradient removal and yes, I reflected on the fluro blue
... with the view to produce a more natural, cleaner and more subtle LRGB image
