Description

My set up limits my FOV for Markarian's chain so I tried to produce an interesting sub framing of the galaxies.

Processing was done in PI:

Equalize R,G and B channels.

Combine R,G and B

Extract "L" channel to process independently of RGB.

DBE "L" and "RGB"

Stretch "L" using HistogramTransdormation

Apply contrast to "L" using CurvesTransoformation

Stretch "RGB" using Arcsinh followed by HT

Apply saturation boost to "RGB" using CT

Use LRGBCombine

Apply slight contrast and color boost using CT.
