Thanks Pawan!

Great image, James! Lately I have been liking to keep the stars as is and not reduce them as well. Gives a nice touch sometimes.

@@DeveshPande Thanks!

Beautiful broadband image of the Elephant. I think a standalone tutorial on dealing with flats whoopsies would be extremely useful. As for the content aware usage in Photoshop, I can't see it being any different to clone stamp which effectively takes some info from a nearby part of the image and replaces a blemish so I don't see it being a problem (and clone stamp is part of Pixinsight after all).

Thanks Logan! Post processing feels like cheating compared to just a few years ago, lol.

Selective masks to handle weird stuff... I have used that technique SOOOO many times when imaging with the 294. Always fighting the green channel with that camera. The IMX571 in my Poseidon-M is so much nicer for calibration :).

I may finally get an imx571 by the end of the year, lol

Fantastic image. Less is definitely more for me. Nice to see this as a non Hubble palette image...im leaning more away ftom NB myself.
