M44 RGB 1 hr per Channel

[Earl]

I Struggled with target choice last night thanks to the posistion of the moon so lumped for M44

I have tired eyes this morning and they are not co-operating.

Issues, faint halos added in via doing stuff with a star mask active... oops

still some colour fringing on the Blue stars.

Ill have another play this evening i think as im not happy with this overall, and would like to document an improvment

[Earl]

Totaly changed the style of processing tonight and have added a lumimnance.

The bigger stars look very square..... or is it my eyes this early in the morning?

its your eyes the small diffraction spikes i get also add to the effect, its a known issue of sorts with the 8300 and fast optics afaik.
