A RE-PROCESS OF THE TARANTULA.

One aspect of my astrophotography adventures that I am not entirely satisfied with is processing images.

I am using Star Tools for processing my images.I always feel and know I can do better. So I watched a video tutorial by the creator of Star Tools Ivo Jager.

I then tried to apply some of the techniques he explains.
I also have a far better understanding of the modules and some of the tweaks you can make to each.

So I re-processed my Tarantula image I took in Underberg on a recent vacation.

And here is the result, below that is the previous attempt.
In my opinion this is a much improved version.
The dust and gas from the Large Magellanic cloud shows up much better now!
