Andromeda Galaxy

Taken over 2 nights September 20th and 21st, 2020

Location: Lake Blue Ridge, GA

This is what the original looked like after stacking 22 light frames (4 min subs) with 5 dark frames in Siril.
You can barely make out the red portion of the nebula.

I reprocessed the above image using PixInsight and I like how it turned out. The below is my workflow:

  • AutomaticBackgroundExtraction
  • BkgrdNeutralization
  • ColorCalibration
  • HistogramTransformation
  • HDRMultiScaleTransform
  • LuminanceMask
  • LRGBCombination
  • RangeSelection
  • CurveTrans
  • LocalHistogramEqual
