Antares Region over 5 years (old data found)

[Carole]

I found some very old Luminance data that I took at High Halden in 2014 with my previous Atik383L - no idea what scope it was but I suspect it was the WOZS71.  Been trying ever since to finish this target.

So I added it to the luminance I recently acquired with my camera lens in Spain, and whilst it only covers about 1/4 of the area, it has neatened up area around Antares, also NGC6121 and NGC6133 are better, also the nebulosity around Al Niyat. 

Definitely worth keeping old data.

Still don't like the blobby stars, but seem to be stuck with them.

One more reprocess.
I was bothered by the stars being too dominant in the image, and with so many it was having the effect of making the sky background appear lighter than it actually was.  So I did a bit of work on star reduction.

Bit happier with it now.


I think this is the most work I have done on processing an image, but I guess in the circumstances of the way I had to capture it and the fact that it is a combination of 5 years worth of bits of data, it is not surprising.
