Dragons of Ara - Reprocessed

Hi all,

With the lack of clear skies down here in Helbourne, I thought I'd go back and revisit my first image that really blew me away - NGC6188, aka 'The Fighting Dragons of Ara'.

I have the old one printed at A2 size (or is it A1? I forget...) and framed for display.

This revisit, I think, is even better than last years's effort.

Last year's work can be seen here: https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/...d.php?t=205686

The over-all process was the same - Siril / starnet++ / Affinity Photo - so something has changed in my workflow, or my tastes in colour and contrast.

The first image below had the starmask / starless layers recombined in Affinity Photo, the second in Siril.

As always, suggestions on how to make this better are welcome.

Now, all I want are some clear skies!

Cheers,
V.
