I was able to pull out some darker whispies as well as several
galaxies hidden in the mist while imaging Pleiades, AKA M45 or
“The Seven Sisters” (I count a lot more than seven!).

Pleiades (M45) has some dark secrets
Quickshot: The North America Nebula
A quick process of the North America Nebula. This is about eighteen hours of SHO + RGB data and I like how it turned out 
.
See below for acquisition details.

RGB & SHO image processing workflows, 2024 edition
In the past few years the tools used to process astro-images have made a
generational leap. Tools built into PixInsight, like WBPP (Weighted Batch
Preprocessor), have simplified calibration and integration, while other free
tools, like Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch (GHS), and SetiAstro’s
helpers are making processing in PI
easier (once you learn them). Other, paid tools, like RC-Astro’s *XTerminator tools have amplified the leap. In this post
I’ll walk through a high-level overview of how I process images. It’s
repeatable, pretty streamlined, and I think that you can get pretty good results
without a lot of theory or math.

I use PixInsight to process my images and I’ve gotten to a point where I feel
that I have a pretty repeatable workflow (note that I didn’t say that I’m
good). I’ve created a few tools along the way that make things easier for me,
which I figured I’d share with the community.
