It is only a small size image but it appears very sharp and quite detailed, can I ask what process and tools you used for this aspect?

Hey Mike,
In pixinsight I use WBPP > Dynamic crop > SPCC > BlurX > NoiseX > StarX > GHS > SCNR > Curves transformation. Make luminance layer with the Ha data then combine with the RGB image. More Curves transformation. Then move to photoshop. Unsharp mask > high pass filter > camera raw filter. Then any minor tweets to the colour I’ll do in photoshop. Back in Pixinsight, edit and recombine the star layer. Most of the detail seems to come out in the photoshop part, I’m sure it can be done in Pixinsight i just have no idea how
Im using 600FL and asi533mm. It’s a good sized target for this setup as I only cropped the edges after stacking. For framing I just used asi air plus and a few test exposures.
Hope this answers your question
Cheers,
Adam
