I'm going to retry this in PixInsight tomorrow, this was PP in PS. 82x300 Second lights. Lots of NR. Shot with QHY12 OSC on a William Optics FLT132.

When I see a weird title I know it's some of your work. It just fascinates me. I sure would like to get into like you have but it is far too expensive for me.
I'll keep watching your progress and ideas. Great work keep it coming.

Great capture - did you use DSS to calibrate and register your images? It would be a laborious challenge to tackle doing calibrations in PS, let alone registration so curious if you are using a PS action or plugin. If I had the time I would like to write one to do this for PS.

Thank you tramsey.

Ed, I misspoke, I calibrated and stacked in PI. I had originally planned to do it completely in PI, but once it was stacked I was in a rush to see what it looked like, so ended up jumping to the more familiar PS.
