My second attempt at Andromeda, processed with Siril and graXpert.

It was shot on an 85mm lens at f1.8 and 2" shutter with 140 light frames on a sony A7iv. I don't have a tracking mount, thus the short shutter. My processing folder is sitting at 140 GB... 😂

I also shot dark flats or would they be dark lights? I shot them with lens cap on.

I had some scripting help from Claude for Siril as I couldn't figure out the initial stacking and using the dark flats. Going to try to process fully manually next time, Claude created a PDf guide for me to follow.

No PCC

Removed green and purple tint in Siril.

Upscaled and noise reduction in Topaz Photo (high fidelity V2 upscaling, minimal noise reduction as it looked weird.)

Contrast/Clarity/Noise reduction in Lightroom.

After over a year of trouble free prints, it finally happened. Thankfully a reasonably easy fix.

I haven't played the game in forever, and wouldn't even use the asset, but thought this was cool enough to share. (apparently not allowed to share in the regular community.) This is somewhere in Canada
