Notes
10th July 2022 In the end it took five hours to stack the subs! The end result was good though.
PixInsight processes used
- Weighted Batch Pre Processing
- EZ Denoise
- Dynamic Background Extraction
- Colour Calibration
- Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch
- Curves Transformation
- PixelMath
- Star Exterminator
Post-processed in GIMP (curves and saturation).
Still working on the final image and deciding if starless is better. I have a 30 day trial of StarExterminator plugin for PixInsight and at first use it is superb.

9th July 2022 The amazing run of clear nights is exhausting on top of working full-time but I am gathering lots of data and as of today now have over five hours on this target which is now ready for processing (Weighted Batch Pre-Processing has been running for over two hours already as I write this).
