M16 captured during my trip to Indiana. This is a stack of 531 x 10s integrations. Stacked, drizzled, star removal/restoration in Siril; noise reduction in Topaz, with curve adjustment in Affinity. Final tweaks in PS Express. I’ve also attached an even more contrasty version (which somehow is the first image on the page !). I’m not sure it’s a better image, but it shows a little more detail.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
