Processing advice - Fish Head Nebula (IC 1795)

[StuartT]

I've collected 5.3 hours on the Fish Head Nebula. I've done two slightly different processes post stacking and I can't quite decide which one is 'best'

I'd be interested in what more expert eyes think.

For me the first one seems much more detailed….But both are excellent….👍🏼

[Felias]

First one for me. The second has a bit of a green tinge, although that could be due to a difference in calibration between your computer screen and mine. Also, the nebulosity has better local contrast in the first one.

[StuartT]

Thanks both. I agree.

[CCD-Freak]

I like the first one.

[barbulo]

+ for the firs one. The second one seems a bit greenish to me. 

Nice job BTW.

[ollypenrice]

First for me too. The second, as barbula says above, is tinged with green and perhaps has more noise.

I am by no means an expert, but from a visual point of view I'd definitely prefer the first one. Great pic!

Very promising! Yes, first one. I dislike green in astro-photos. I would even put the second one through an SCNR-green treatment in PI. I would also apply a bit of NR on the sky.
