Squawk Squawk!! Seagull Nebula

[Nikolas (Nik)]

Seagull Nebula NGC 2335 9 hours of data taken over 2 nights 9.5 hours in total using 900 second subs
Optolong L-ultimate filter
RGB and HA stacked and cleaned up in Astropixel processor. the light pollution process is by far the best.
Ha extracted in Astropixel processor added as a luminance layer to the RGB in Photoshop.
Processed in trial version of pixinsight so I can try the trial version of Blur exterminator then the rest of the process in Photoshop as pixinsight does my head in.
Askar FRA300 pro scope
ZWO 294mc pro and ZWO asiair on skywatcher neq6
That L-Ultimate filter and that askar scope are real winners as far as I'm concerned.

Fantastic shot! Love the colour and well framed too.
I’m in a similar boat and considering playing with a trial of PI and some of these x terminator plugins. For someone not familiar with the ecosystem is it easy enough to work with?

Thanks Dave
I absolutely loathe the workflow, not because it doesn't work, it works extremely well but the workspace and the nomenclature is a throwback to windows 95 in terms of appearance. Also there is no way to fade a change like there is in photoshop.
Having said that blur exterminator would be the only reason I would incorporate this horrid bloatware into my workflow, that and the background extraction etc.
