NGC 7380 - Wizard Nebula

Here's my first real attempt at capturing a Nebula, and the result of a few weeks worth of binge watching PixInsight tutorials.

Canon T3 w/Ha mod

Celestron EdgeHD 11 2800mm F10

iOptron CEM70G w/ tri-pier

20x300s lights

20 darks

20 flats

60 bias

Calibration and stacking done with PixInsight

Channels separated, linear fit on G and B, then recombined

Denoise and initial stretch using EZ processing scripts

SCNR to remove green

Removed stars with StarNet (had some trouble with artifacts, maybe SNR was too low)

Curves to increase contrast

Color saturation slightly increased using luminance mask

Local Histogram equalization

Dark structure enhance

Added stars back with PixelMath

Amazing!
