Thanks Contrast effectI think

Seeing not as bad today

Thanks Dave, 1st for 5 weeks the weather has been awful.

In what could be described as trying conditions

HOO & RGB stars version

Thanks Ed The stars were from the RGB set and I did not use the decon on them , to be honest I have no idea what caused the rings but tried to contain them. If I get the chance to get more O3 & S2 it will have another fresh process.

I tried this object a few years ago and for the same reasons as you state it did not see the light of day. You have brought out more detail than I did.

If you go NINA there is a plug in that controls 2 cameras on one mount and handles the dithering/guiding as well. It is done by magic I think but does work.

It will have been calibrated in PI then saved in PI in the different formats.

It says they have been calibrated in PixInsight.

I wonder if the direction is the problem ie always go clockwise or anti cw and not shortest route.
