My astro-buddy and I braved the -30 Celsius wind chill temperature last night near Ottawa Canada and spent 5 hours under on the best and most pristine skies we've ever seen. The was no Moon and not a cloud in the sky... it was simply perfect for astrophotography. Here is my first Great Orion and Running Man Nebulae shot in a year and I hope it won't be the last because the weather has been so poor.
I feel that APP did a great job on this image considering it was all very short 30-second subs. Hello Mabula, it has been a long time since you have heard from me. I hope you are well and that the work is progressing).

That's awesome. I see a pillar feature I had not seen before. Nice capture!

Great image @rudypohlgmail-com !
There sure is a lot of signal present in your data, awesome 😉
I know this area is just full of colder and brown dust which can make it pretty hard to correct the data for gradients. I think you did an excellent job though Rudy. Great and lots of color as well.
All is well Rudy, thank you for asking. I am working hard on several improvements for APP 1.057 like strongly improved outlier rejection filters. I will soon introduce a new outlier rejection filter ;-), it will be an improved version of Linear Fit Clipping, it will work better and faster so I think this will be a very nice feature.
Your proposed improvements on color stretching will come as well soon 😉
Cheers,
Mabula
