And here is my first try, thanks
@Larry 1969 for the data.
I really struggled with the background in
PI so I took the fits into
APP and did a crop,
LP removal and colour calibration then took it from there in to
PI. that gave me a much better background than I could get with DBE and PCC in
PI. As I've mentioned in other posts I have the devils own job to get a decent background in
PI with data from my ASI2600mc and larrys AA26c data (same IMX571sensor) was giving me the same noisy, red and blotchy background.
Once in
PI I followed my pretty standard workflow of
Decon
EZ-Denoise
Stretch with HT
Stretch (for contrast) and saturation with CurvesTransformation
HDRMT to bring out contrast in the core
Then
@STEVE333 's method to make it pop.
Then into Photoshop to get the background to the correct point with levels (I find this really difficult in
PI - any hints anyone?)
Ending up with this
Maybe a bit too psychadelic in the core but I kinda like it. I may think otherwise tomorrow
Just seen Steves one above - I need to look at that motion blur decon that seems neat.
I left it as a fairly wide field cause I love trying to spot all the faint galaxies in the background
As shown in this;
I be pretty happy to call this one my own.
take care all.
