This is a work in progress image from, frankly, rather poor data. The weather here has been windy, cloudy and unstable. But I couldn't stand being inside any more so I decided to get out and shoot something. ;)
FWHM ranged from 1.9 to nearly 4.2 making stacking this data pretty rough. Also being in a white zone meant really bad gradients and other unwanted signal noise.
I did a bit of DBE, which helped, but I'm still learning how to get the most out of that.
Thanks to Tolga for pointing me at Rogelio's HLVG Script, which helped a lot with green noise.
I'll be getting better data on this and trying again as soon as the weather improves.
UPDATE: I uploaded a different version that uses LRGBCombination process technique. Its more neutral and gives better star colors, but exposes the seeing flaws a lot more.
Revision D is just a new reprocess of my 600-second RGB data to try and increase contrast and get better star colors. Its still not perfect and I need better data from dark skies....
