Sadr Region

I captured this image on 8/4 of the region around Sadr in Cygnus. What an awesome part of the night sky to see in its full color!

try to not stretch it as hard

[viscid tendon]

Yeah also try and do a better bg extraction

I think it got cooked by the gradient

[river timber]

Take new flats

[paper lotus]

Better?

[viscid tendon]

way better but I dont think its as great as it could be judging by your gear

Its lacking a lot in detail and I think you denoised wayy too much

Fix the gradients.

Also, avoid noisex pls. Use deepsnr.

I'm using pixinsight and learning... does the Gradient Correction process work well? At what point in processing do you apply it?

Never tried deepsnr, I'll download it. Why not Noisex?

[outer summit]

Noisex is just a worse denoiser. Kills more detail and leaves blotches.

I always use DBE. I like to get the raw stack, crop, clone it and make one starless. Then run DBE on the starless image. Get the model that it makes and subtract it from the other image with stars. The point of this is that removing the stars makes spotting the gradient easier.

Use this processing icon to subtract the model.

no

I'd restack with new flats a try graxpert
