I will post the uncropped data once it finishes uploading

@fresh solar amazing data! b2 never disappoints. Theres a significant broadband component around the cyg loop that people always wanna process out on account of believing its gradient and you captured alot of it! I only wish there was more of this data

your roki seems like a really good one. stars are nice edge to edge 👍

[fresh solar]

YOOOOO this is awesome!!!! Way better than my process

Could you say the steps by any chance?

[fresh solar]

This is actually a very cropped down version of the full stack which I will send whenever I remember to

But thank you

Even in the full stack, the stars are fine at the edges

I genuinely spent so much time trying to process that "gradient" away 😭
P.S. ill get more data when these clouds go away, if Cygnus doesn't go away first :/

Ah, went through your channel and saw you were using pixinsight. What would be the closest-to-equivalent process of this in siril+graxpert?

[uncut lintel]

Yeah alot of the steps won't really translate. Siril has a pretty good GHS stretch which is what i use. Getting good with that tool will help alot. Don't be afraid to iterate on your background extraction a few times as long as the data is in a linear state.

[fresh solar]

I do need to learn GHS, lately I've been doing it the lazy way and using asinh

Actually, if you could give the PI process that would be great, as I just started my 45 day free trial

my workflow is pretty much the same as all my vids on youtube. just look up any of the processing vids ive posted there as AstroSidivis

there are a few different complete processes posted there

as well as my PI icon set

which i think is in the description on the m31 process

[fresh solar]

What are icons?

Ill check the videos out for sure

[uncut lintel]

think windows shortcuts for PI tools

Have any luck?
