Awesome, Che. It appears that this is typical of your signature work; detail throughout, even in the bright core.

9 hours of integration, Man, you are dedicated.

Thanks Che. That is an extremely useful explanation of how to get rid of the noise. It is exactly what I was after. We must think alike!

Ivo! Thanks, my man. :obscene-drinkingcheers: You just don't know how much I appreciate you. I am sorry for my late response. Huge difference in your result. Yes, I have to do a better job with my calibration files. Honestly, this is a hodgepodge of different imaging sessions, and I know I got my ca...
