Hi Andrew
Great image, detail is really good.
Looking around tinterweb, it doesn’t need much. You have a lot of good data there. Only thing I could suggest is to get that RGB histogram aligned a touch.
Tricky bugger so well done given constraints.
What’s your processing poison of choice?
Thanks Dave,
Processing workflow at my end was all pixinsight. After weeding out the worst of the haze and cloud affected subs, it was standard batch preprocessing (bias darks flats), local normalisation then drizzle integration. In the linear world I gave the Lum a smidge of decon using a lum mask to limit where it worked. I balanced the RGB using the photometric calibration tool. This is why the galaxy is white, because that was the setting I used. I might re-do it using G2V stars as a reference instead. Then a touch of denoise using the multiscale wavelet tool before transforming eveything into non-linear.
Then I didn't do much except hit the saturation a little, play with the curves to try and boost contrast a bit, then TGV denoise and unsharp mask. I'll revisit the non-linear workflow, but had already spent too much time staring at it and it was a nice weekend and the kid were already in the pool...
