Horsehead Nebula

Taken using the dwarf 3 and stacked and processed in Pixinsight.

Integration time: ~4.5 hours
Taken across multiple nights from my bortle 5 backyard in Australia.

Processed using blurX , syqon prism deep and veralux for stretching before curves adjustment.

Overall happy with the image but it could be better. The framing made for too much crop to get it to the typical orientation. This was a challenging target for me due to its position in the sky and how occluded my yard is in that area so those 4.5 hours took me over 10 nights.

Trying out the new prism deep noise removal was fun, overall I think it does give better results but on a first glance after being used to what noiseX does it looked worse to my eye. I found it was hugely impacted by the stretching method with veralux performing the best and pixinsights MAS by far the worst.

Let me know what you think!
