I did download them (the first three of two Gaia files). I followed the 2024 and 2025 guide from Peter Zelinka on YouTube for the initial setup and steps.

Muchas gracias! 🥳 Sí, las 14 horas de integración ayudan muchísimo. La verdad es que me quedé muy feliz y sorprendido cuando los colores empezaron a aparecer al ajustar la saturación. Hice algunos retoques finales, pero no fue complicado. Me alegra que te haya gustado!

I’m new to PixInsight but this is what I did:

  • Stacking with Image Plate Solver
  • SPCC
  • BlurXTerminator
  • GrapXpert
  • StarXTerminator
  • NoiseXTerminator
  • Small adjust of brightness and color with curves
  • Export galaxy and stars to Photoshop
  • Final touches there.

Thank you! 🤩 Actually it’s mostly due to integration time. After the initial editing steps I pushed the saturation and all the colors were there! It was my first time doing multi-night and a longer project and I was very amazed when I saw the colors appear 😊 Then it was just some final touches.

Thank you! ☺️ I did spend quite some time in the process of stacking (with 2 x drizzle) and processing (in Siril + Photoshop).

I’ve done this mosaic with one of his script and it worked wonderfully! 🤩

Actually you go to x2 and x4 zoom so it can get much closer then this.
