Tomorrow I will post my version of LRGB & HO
Hi Robert.
I combined all the sub-exposures using Astro Pixel Processor and created master LRGB frames. From these I created a master RGB file. Then, over in PixInsight, I applied Blur Xt to the luminance and RGB frames, scaled them and saved them as 16-bit TIFFs. I then used Affinity Photo to create an LRGB file and removed the stars to a separate layer. I used Affinity's Tone Mapping and Clarity tools to promote the detail in the image, made adjustments to the colours using Selective Colour and then reintroduced the stars.
Cheers,
Nik

Hello. I am very curious about the method you used to work on this photo?!
