[Solved] Heavy white gradient

That's a strong gradient indeed, any lights in the neighborhood? And are you using calibration files?

Apart from that, in APP there is a tool to reduce gradients. If you have your final image, you can go to tab 9, tools and do light pollution correction. Place a few small squares (like 3) close to the bottom, spread out. Then another 2 left and right from the object in the middle. And then 2 close to the top on the left and right. Click "calculate" and check what happens.

@vincent-mod Light Pollution Correction didnt really help Results of that are below, if anything made it worse. As for light pollution and calibration files. i was in the middle of a field (bortle class 4) with not ambient light sources around and i used Darks, Flats, and Bais frames (30 each). I processed the same way i have my other images, never gotten a gradient like this before and have no clue why.

@vincent-mod Thought i would go ahead and share, I found the solution to this issue. Turns out you put me on the right track, the issue was with my Flat frames. There was a gradient hidden in there. I reprocessed the image without the flats and it came out wayyy better.

Ah excellent, yes a flat that has an issue (or any other calibration data) causes issues like this indeed.
