- MD Shahadat Hossain Shahal
- Processing method
- 1. Stack all calibrated frames in DeepSkyStacker (DSS). 2. Attempt plate solving inside Siril. 3. Blind Plate Solving (If Siril fails to find an astrometric solution) 4. Perform Background Extraction in Siril to remove gradients and light pollution. 5.Apply Spectrophotometric Color Calibration (SPCC) for accurate colors. 6.Remove stars from the image (using star removal tool). 7.Stretch the starless image to bring out faint details. 8.Apply noise reduction 9.Add the stars back into the processed image. 10. Apply mild sharpening to make stars cleaner and more defined. 11.Minor adjustments if needed
