The Wizard Nebula. I had two large unmanageable stars so I 'fixed' them  in Lightroom. One day I will upload a correct version.  I hope I haven't broken one of the 'set in stone' rules of Astrobin.  I'm doing a lot of experimenting and sometimes its good and sometimes not.

I used the L-eXtreme as my Luminance for the R,G,B. I've had some good luck doing this (Elephant Trunk Nebula), but the L-eXtreme puts big halos around the brightest stars. I should have my 36mm filter wheel operational after I get a couple of 48mm extension tubes. Then I will try using a Ha filter for the luminance.  The Optolong Luminance filter that I have blows up the larger stars too much so I'm searching for another processing method or another filter.
