Integration: 3 hours 30mins

This is a reprocess of my original attempt at this dataset.
Stacked in DSS/Siril. Processed in Pixinsight and GraXpert denoise.
This is the hardest dataset I have. For a long time I thought I wont be able to get anything good out of it but has changed now. Using several stretching methods and data manipulation I got something I liked and somewhat happy with.
As you can probably see, there are gradients in the corners. I used 4 types of background extraction tools and didnt go away. Havent yet tried MSGR bc doubt anyone shot wider than 100mm on this target.

I hope you enjoyed my space photo as well as the pains of it. Not 100% happy with this process but considering how much of a PITA it was, i'll accept it.

Cool, what gear did you use? I respect the effort in trying to make something out of hard to process data.
