  1. My first go at an HDR astro image. Inspired by u/SpencerBAstro.

    Details:

    * Bortle 5
    * ~4 hours of time
    * 300s lights (S, H, O) and 10s lights
    * SVBONY SV503 80ED (doublet) with flattener
    * QHY miniCAM8 with SHO filters
    * EQ6-R Pro mount
    * ZWO mini guide scope
    * ZWO ASI120MM-mini guide camera
    * Orchestrated with NINA

    Processing:

    * Pixinsight steps, with the 300s and 10s images separate
    * WBPP
    * SetiAstro AutoDBE
    * SXT> SetiAstro Star Stretch
    * SetiAstro palette picker
    * Took both outputs to Affinity Photo for HDR merge
    * Back to Pixinsight with single image
    * Narrowband normalization
    * Add stars back with PixelMath
    * BXT
    * NXT
