Thanks Dave, excellent processing tutorial. I may have to start using the lasso tool.

Thanks for the video. I just learned that Siril can easily align the images if you just stack the 2 files that you want to align. In the "process" folder the files will be in there perfectly aligned. Then you take those into photoshop to combine them. There is literally no work needed to align them if you do it this way.

Thanks so much!

How do the results compare if you were to fully process each stack before combining them? I'm concerned that by combining them before processing that I will lose some of the detail from the narrow band. Thanks!
