Messier 16

Hi all,

I'm not in the mood for posting a wall of text, so here is the result of last week's attempt at M16. The night was cut short by a self-combusting dew heater controller, so no dew control and the inevitable condensation...

The processing workflow was the same as always - stack and pre-process in Siril, then use starnet++ to separate the image into stars / starless layers for further processing and then recombining with Siril and Affinity Photo.

I'm hard-pushed to decide which one I like the best, as I like elements of both of them...

Image data:
* Gain: 100
* Offset: 10
* Temperature: 0 degrees C
* Exposure: 120 seconds
* Frames: 68 Lights, 25 Darks, 25 Flats and DarkFlats (2 hours and 16 minutes integration in total)
* Filter: L-Enhance (Ha + Oiii dual-narrowband)

Equipment:
* SW72ED@420mm / HEQ5-Pro / ASI183MC-Pro / SV165+SV305 / Kstars/Ekos

Comments and feedback welcome and appreciated as always.

Cheers,
V
