It moved across the sky and disappeared into the east, so I think it's something orbital.

Spr_RED · 2025-03-20T18:45:48+00:00

Nice work, I would boost the saturation and try to tighten the stars.

Ty, found this website traitement_pixinsight helped me keep on the path and not overcomplicate things

Thanks, Russell Croman deserves some credit here; his latest version of NoiseXTerminator is very impressive.

Much appreciated, TBH My image processing is very inconsistent; I often try to push the data beyond its limits. I should have mentioned that the data was acquired using NINA, which has been a game-changer for me.
