Another great processing tutorial - they are always so clear to follow and provide great tips for tweaking processing techniques. Great way if dealing with halos - I always find them quite difficult to deal with so will be taking away some of your technique to use next time I have to deal with them. Great final images and the Dolphin came out superbly - you'd never pick that it is from imaging so low in the sky.

You have one of the best image processing channels out there. Thank you kindly for sharing all your instruction and techniques. You among a few others have really helped the community and personally I'm on top of my Pixinisght game. I hope to do some vids of my own techniques and share as well. Your work is inspiring. Your backing tracks are kick ass too. Clear Skies James! 🔭.
I'm gonna go back and re-process my IC348 image because of this video. Thanks again. --jason

Nice work on the dolphin. I wanted to try it but we had zero clear nights when it was visible

[@DSOImager]

Thanks Nick! Hope it clears up for you soon.
