I ran a very low de convolution while it was still linear, both on the RGB and Lum.
Created a star mask (spent some 15 minutes playing with it) and spent most of my time playing with the data with the stars masked. I think I need to learn how to use the PSF in mask generation.
At the end I just dropped the mask and saturated the hell out of it haha

I like your style! Will play with the data and do a repro today.
Nice data Marc! Just did a quick & dirty on your the smaller RGB files in PS this morning (reduced crop attached). A bit more effort would definitely give this image wow factor!

Thanks Marcus. Trying to figure out how to do star masks in PI. I think Colin has the right idea. Mask all the stars then work the hell out of the neb then blend back in.

Cool. I use Startools top make my masks but I might start looking back into my old PS actions. I have a tut somewhere from an old NEAF presentation from Tom Davies. He used to be able to extract dust out of a brand new IKEA furniture (still in the box).
Well I did one repro on one panel after seeing Colin's version. Went back to basics with Tom's tutorial. Here's a link to it. It's quite old from 2009 but still relevant. [10MB PDF download]
Big one here [6.3MB - 2939x1930]

I reckon the colors are more vibrant and it brought out a bit of the brown stuff too.
Nice data capture, Marc. That low northern horizon at Duckadang seems to offer a huge temptation to go after tough northern targets Look forward to seeing what you can do with it. Marcus has demonstrated that it has a lot of potential.
I am still really learning how to use PI, slowly getting there
Looking good Colin.

Thanks Rick. Yes the call from the North.

Thanks Paul. Happy with the details but the color is definitely washed out and yellowish. All the stars look white too. I like the repro better. Will rework the mosaic as a whole as well. Found this "Linear Fit" in PI which seems to do the same as Pixel Math / Int mode in CCD Stack to balance the channels. I guess it's just about trying to map all the functionality from one program to the other and find where it is.
