M20 - Trifid

Reprocess of some M20 data i had.

Not happy with the stars. Blue stars have a much larger halo then others. All i can think of is that the blue filters focus is a lot further off than any other filter compared to luminance. Oh and stars are blown out. Guessing 25k well depth and 10min subs will do that.

Stars aside, i'm happy with my attempt at processing this.
ACDNR works well, but softens the image.

I may have gone a bit too overboard with saturation during LRGB combination. I have been finding though that my images appear on other monitors lacking in saturation, so it may just be me.
My work laptop, and work screen both show this differently to my home machine.

Comments are welcomed.

About 2 hours of data, 10min subs, taken from the Brisbane 'burbs.
