Boy this one was hard and I almost gave up. I couldn't get rid of the gradients etc no matter what I did. That sounds familiar. GraXpert again saved the day. Thanks to the clouds I only got about 1hr usable per night. I've definitely gone a bit hard on the saturation but it does highlight the extra gas and dust, which is nice

G11 + BT200 + TSGPU
ASI2600MC
5hrs of 120s 100g 50o -10C

NINA + GraXpert + PI

Tips, tricks and criticisms most welcome

That is better than perfect but perhaps too much dodge and burn.
Your images are exceptional.

That’s a beautiful image! Framing, detail and processing is fantastic. Congrats you aught to be stoked with that result!!
Might be my screen but is the colour cast a bit green? Might be worth playing around to achieve a more neutral tone but if you like it the way it is still a beautiful pic
