NGC 1333 with the Seestar S50
This is a 12.5 hour integration of NGC 1333 under Bortle 8/9 skies. Given those conditions, this was a tough one, especially as it's a reflection nebula, so I couldn't use a narrowband filter. The light gradients on the stacked image were terrible, but I was able to remove them with Graxpert. Most of the processing was done in Siril--special thanks to the amazing Veralux script and Cosmic Clarity for really pulling out the detail and color. I tweaked the final image in Affinity 2.
