Sadr Region - Reprocess in HOO

[mightymonoped]

Thought I'd have a go at reprocessing this capture from June in  HOO using some new techniques.

Extracted a Star Layer using Starry and Starless versions of the stretched and initially processed capture.

Extracted Starless Red (Ha) and Green (OIII) channels. 

Recombined in new image using HSL colourise (Orange/Red to Ha and Green to OIII), then used Layer Mask for Ha layer to reveal the OIII layer beneath, Levels and curves to finish.

Camera Raw Filter to address Contrast, Texture, Noise, Colour, Clarity and Detail.

Final finishing off with High-Pass filter before remerging with reduced Star Layer.

Weak HLVG filter then finish off with AstroFlat Pro for final touches.

Clear skies all,
