Finally nailed my backside to a chair for long enough to go through some PixInsight tutorials and videos (having a day off helped) so I can now present my first offering for your appraisal. It's definitely complicated, but seems very powerful.
The image was taken through my Tak at F6. I took 60 & 900 second exposures through a 5nm Ha filter. I calibrated and stacked in Maxim as usual. These were registered and HDR combined in PixInsight. I then applied a histogram transformation and HDRWavelets. (I can see H rolling his eyes at all of this HDR stuff already!) Next was ACDNR and a further histogram stretch, followed by an Unsharp Masking.
The full size image is found
here.
It certainly isn't my best data - it was captured in poor seeing with lots of moisture and a bit of wind about. I wasn't 100% happy with guiding or focus either. (More excuses than a tomcat going to the vet!)
Hopefully I'll get a LRGB image up in the near future and then a HaLRGB combo.
Thanks for looking,
DT
