In this tutorial, Telescope Live Co-Founder Alexander Curry will guide you through some advanced and complete processing of a galaxy using SIRIL. Alex will guide you through all the steps necessary to process any galaxy using SIRIL. This tutorial will begin from post-stacking and will cover 3 sections and is suitable for intermediate users as it will continue from some already established concepts from the SIRIL beginner series.

This tutorial will cover:

Part 1 histogram transformation, colour calibration, star removal and further processing of the RGB layer

Part 2 processing of the luminance layer and the creation of the LRGB composite

Part 3 re-introduction of the stars (including some processing steps for the star layer that you may wish to consider) and the final touches
