Only managed 30 mins of data before the clouds rolled in. Will add more asap.

Magnificent!

Bravo, the depth of this image is breath taking. If I was being picky, perhaps a little residual green to remove?

That's a great image, I like how the busy star field has been reduced so one can see the nebula properly.

That's magnificent! Did you use the reducer?

It is just noise after wiping because of the autodev. I followed the starting with good data guide. I have 7 hours DSLR Raw with Darks and Flats. Intersection etc. I can go up to about 87% with manual develop and get a nice image after wiping. But the autodev makes it turn to a black and white mess....

I really would like to adjust the wipes without autodev turning up the exposure to 1000% after. I can't judge how well to use it with my noisy data. Is this possible or please can this be implemented?

Hi, The issue was the gradient in the corner from a nearby street light. I found that by masking the stars and galaxy, a very hard wipe helps get rid of it while preserving the colour data. Additionally, I stacked the images again (and again with more subs) without using camera white balance, and sa...

I read the guide more carefully, then masked out all of the very bright stars and the galaxy. This has helped me do a harsher wipe while not affecting the galaxy.
