The above image was processed using the SXV software. Very little colour was left in the image. A defect map was made to eliminate hot pixels which seems to have worked very well. Stacking with DeepSky Stacker, and stretching and colour balance with Photoshop. The stars have much more colour than before - note the three stars in a line in top left corner. No flats used, so there was quite bad vignetting. |
