it never fails to amaze me the structure of the red clouds top left, almost 3d!!

I know guys take two shots, one short of the trap and long ones of the outer so they don't get a burnt out core, but surely (and bird may answer this) you can get the computer to run its eye over they image during the exposure of 6mins or so every 1 sec and any pixel that has reached max, then don't let the surrounding area of that pixel build up as quick??? either a gaussian bell curve radius around that star etc

If a pixel ie in the red cloud area has not reached maximum ie white, then let it keep building!

I am very very new to dso stuff, but a "dynamic" mask should be able to help during exposure time I would have thought.

Has anyone seen something like this?
