NGC 3372 Carina Nebula Keyhole Reprocessed

Reprocessed a Carina Nebula image I captured in late May
I used a 2 x Powermate with my Canon 600D in the 8” f5 newt which effectively gave me an 8” f10 at 2000mm focal length
Just over 2 hours of data captured under a near full moon
Re Processed in Startools V1.5 Linear data set
Binned image to 50%
AutoDev
Cropped edges
Wipe, bumped up dark anomalies to 8
AutoDev re stretch again, bumped up shadow linearity
Deconvolution with mask 2.4 pixels
Sharpen 100%
HDR Optimise soft
Life 2 x gamma 15%
Colour Artistic aware, used a star mask and invert
Final Noise reduction 5.0 pixels

*** Had to reduce file size to upload so lost some fine detail
