The Hydra Cluster (Abell 1060)
Abell 1060 (the Hydra I Cluster) is grouping of 157 galaxies located approximately 134 million light-years away in Hydra. The cluster spans about ten million light-years and has an unusually high proportion of dark matter.
Processing this dataset was a challenge due to the amount of noise in the light frames and the HUGE halo around HR4162

Looks great! Really well done on the galaxies!
Wow! Really amazing! Best edit on the cluster I saw here. Halo is gone amazing details in galaxies. Fantastic!
Thanks Andre.
For the halo I used several technics combined (Hue/saturation in Photoshop, GAME script in Pixinsight).
For galaxy details (Enhance dark structure script in Pix, High pass filters & denoise AI).
For galaxies' colors: selective colors adjustment and sponge tool in PS.
and of course A LOT of time :D
