Image by Spaceman 56, processed from stack provided here:
https://www.cloudyni...ntauri-cluster/
Acquisition (per Spaceman 56):
2023-03-27, 186x60L, EQMod Mount, ZWO CCD ASI2600MC Pro
My processing on macOS 12.6.4 ("Monterey"):
Siril 1.2.0-beta2:
Background extraction
Photometric color calibration
Generalized hyperbolic stretch
Histogram manual adjustment
GIMP 2.10:
Levels
Temperature reduction (a bit too orange-yellow)
Luminance curve (darken the darks and brighten the stars a bit more)
Slight green luminance curve (a bit too green in places)
