Ya gotta love the ol' faithful EQ6R & EON85 combo. Just plugs away like a champion while I torture myself with other more unruly things
I decided to have a fiddle with PIs HDRComposition and started with Carina but the data didn't need it apparently. So I went for Orion, since that's what the process is for, just learning. I couldn't get a result with the tool, they all looked like it was 8bit :/ surely my fault but I couldn't work it out, this time. Undeterred I applied a range mask to the linear data to isolate the overexposed core and used masked pixelmath to do the composition, so a different learning exercise in the end. GHS did all the heavy lifting. Colour masks. Is it weird to use prime numbers for all the settings?
