Processing Workflow:
For each Filter (L, R, G, B) seperately:
1. Registration via Mosaic functionality in AstroPixelProcessor
2. “Remove Light Pollution” carefully via AstroPixelProcessor
3. Register all Mosaics to L
RGB:
1. Crop out bad edges/cornersCombine RGB
2. MultiscaleGradientCorrection
3. GradientCorrection script from PI
4. AutoColor script from PI
5. BlurX, NX, StarX
6. Stretch starless and stars via HT
Lum:
1. Same crop as for RGB
2. GradientCorrection script from PI
3. BX, NX, StarX
4. Stretch starless
Photoshop:
1. Combine RGB_starless (base layer) with RGB stars (“Screen” mode) with Lum_starless (“Luminosity” mode)
2. Several adjustments via Curves, CameraRawFilter, HighPass-Filter, Selective-Color, Saturation, Glow-via-blurred-duplicate
3. Final crops
