Pretty happy with the results for the short integration time. One of the best things about shooting clusters! Captured on July 23rd, 2022 from my Bortle 6 driveway.

* Lum- 15x90"
* Red- 9x90"
* Green- 7x90"
* Blue- 6x90"
* Darks- 30
* Flats- 30 per filter
**Capture Software:**
* Captured using [N.I.N.A.](https://nighttime-imaging.eu) and PHD2 for guiding and dithering.
**[PixInsight Processing:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6vj_SEZ79k)**
* BatchPreProcessing
* StarAlignment
* [Blink](https://youtu.be/sJeuWZNWImE?t=40)
* ImageIntegration
**Linear:**
* DynamicCrop
* Dynamic Background extraction
**RGB:**
* ChannelCombination to map monochrome R, G, and B images into a color image
* PhotometricColorCalibration
* Slight SCNR green
* MultiscaleLinearTransform for large scale chrominance noise reduction (around layer 12 I think)
* HSV repair
* ArcsinhStretch + HistogramTransformation to bring nonlinear
**Luminance:**
* NoiseXTerminator
* ArcsinhStretch + HistogramTransformation to bring nonlinear
**Nonlinear:**
* LRGBCombination with stretched L as luminance
* Several curves transformations to adjust lightness, contrast, saturation, etc
* SCNR green
* MLT again for smaller scale chrominance noise reduction
* Invert > SCNR > Invert with star mask to remove magentas from some stars
* Another round of NoiseX
* More Curves
* Annotation
