Description

My first attempt at LRGB combination - previously stuck to Narrow band because acquisition and processing is way easier....

There was a 4 hour window in the cloud ( the first since the start of October) - so I prioritised acquisition over collimation here and yes it shows....

What I am interested in however is peoples views on the processing - I ended up taking an hour of luminance - so I integrated that with  my R, G, and B stacks to produce an enhanced synth L stack - is that a good idea?

Also have I gone to far in contrast enhancement of the luminance?

Clearly, a second acquisition session  with better collimation and more time would be good - but my weather forecast random number generator says cloudy skies for the next seven days
