Elephant's Trunk Widefield - Combined Integration

[mightymonoped]

Thought it might be worth having a go at combining the Samyang 135mm and the Redcat captures together to see if anything usable would come out of it.

Still haven't mastered Astro Pixel Processor for this kind of thing yet, but I ended up with something I could work with (once croppped).

This is a fairly drastic crop of  (100 x 60s) + (86 x 120s) subs combined.

Stripped out the stars, fixed the halo on Garnet Star before recombining.

Basic stretches, Camera Raw Filter processing, a bit of Astro Flat Pro to sort out the mosaic artefacts and a small bit of star reduction.

APP, starnet++ & Photoshop

Finding this one seems a bit dark so trying another.

Like the second one more, you seem to have pulled a little more out.
