Description

Since we only have astronomical twilight here in this period of the year and the moon was still at some 80%, I was not very optimistic on this shoot. I managed to ruin my RGB shots by forgetting to focus after I exchanged the L-Enhance for the Baader Neodymium, so in the end I only had 32 120" (unguided) shots to work with.

First I integrated the image in APP and did an initial stretch, I then extracted the stars with Starnet++, and subtracted the starless image from the original in Affinity to get a stars-only image. Then I tried to improve the starless image in Affinity and Lightroom, did an Affinity ‘Star Eater’ on the Stars-only image, blended the two back together again and then ran the blended image through Topaz Denoise.
