This data was meh, needed some heavy attention. But with better attention to color and general balances in stretching and HDR I'm happy with this rework.
MGC database doesn't have this region yet so I used a manual reference, thanks to @elfin burrow for lending the data.

Really nice process, Colors are sweet
The saturation on the stars also participates in the vibe, looks natural

Should be able to upload it soon
RGB gradients are rough tho
Be prepared lol

Love it how did you manage to get those star trails color ! Like rainbow it’s amazing

Man, every single time I think about getting my first rig with an OSC camera, you mono guys show up and send me back to the drawing board... great result 🔥

Thanks! Yep, mono is the way to go.

You can either 3d print a spike mask to go on the front of your scope, or software such as starspikes pro 4 can create diffraction spikes.
In this instance I switched to software and played with starspikes 4, and found out it can create some natural looking diffraction.

You people are making too strong of a case to ignore for real... btw, have you drizzled your data?

No drizzle, I find it unnecessary in my case.

Your sampling is 1.96"/px which is quite good yes

The very slight increase in potential sharpness is not enough to justify the processing times and increased storage drain.

you also get some extra details from mono composition itself

Yea mono squeezes a bit more out any said optical system.

The lack of a Bayer matrix helps in many areas.

does the lack of having a sensor-filter increase QE?
simple hedge
Basically yes, instead of each pixel being restricted to R G or B, with a Luminance filter, you can collect the whole visible spectrum. But resolution and overall signal gathered is increased with a monochrome sensor as the WHOLE sensor is dedicated to R G or B. Whereas a Bayer matrix divides the sensor up between RGB.
