Astrobdlbug Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Tony, really impressive, you're getting a taste for the dark side... Molecular clouds are such amazing large scale stuctures, but hard to capture and even harder to process, this is good based on your location. Perhaps pull back on the noise reduction or try to experiment with masks to selectively apply noise reduction without smooshing (technical term 🙂 ) the details.... For example generate a simple range mask to protect the Pleiades as they have a much bigger signal and less noise but do have a lot of detail in te wispy bits.

I’m pretty clueless on the mask side of things (both PI and PS) but I will bone up on it to have a play 👍😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymonoped Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 Thought I might have a play with the MultiscaleMedianTransform technique for noise reduction as it looks promising. Will post results on here for comparison/comment. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
