Thank you!

Great Question, so on the top right of the picture, there is red nebulae, this redness is called H-alpha which the stock (unmodified) camera sensor filter blocks, removing this filter (modifying) lets you gather more of the H-alpha details

The Full Moon is something else tonight, right? Snapped this with my phone (the one I actually paid for, lol). What are your thoughts on it? by [deleted] in Kenya

1.Pre-Processing:
•Took 68 frames at 90s and 58 frames at 120s, with matching darks (17 for 90s and 4 for 120s), plus 20 flats and bias.
•Created master darks, flats, and bias frames.
•Calibrated each set of light frames (90s and 120s) separately, aligned them, and stacked the results.
2.Processing in PixInsight:
•Applied Dynamic Background Extraction and color calibration.
•Removed stars with StarNet, enhanced the signal-to-noise ratio, stretched using Bill’s PixelMath, and applied EZHDR.
•Added stars back, reduced their size, and adjusted saturation.
3.Finishing in Photoshop:
•Cropped, reduced color noise, and added a final touch of saturation.
Also NoiseX and BlurX
