NGC 2403

[Bob Israel]

It's been quite some time since I imaged anything with my scope but last night I fired up the Celestron Origin and imaged NGC 2403. The resulting image needed to be cropped and then resized in Topaz Gigapixel. Otherwise, my normal workflow of stacking and processing in Pixinsight followed by finishing in Lightroom Classic.

Super cool Bob! You are doing better then me now! I have not been able to take any astro images in a couple of months. I hope to correct that in a few weeks, but in the mean time I will enjoy yours.

You got some really nice detail here, and I like the look of it.

How did the Gigapixel do? Have you compared it to the Enhanced resizing option in ACR? That's what I usually use, but mainly because I don't have any other resizing programs.

I used the resize in Topaz Photo AI actually. It's the same as Gigapixel but I can use some sharpening and/or noise reduction at the same time if needed. Seems to do a really good job. I haven't compared it with Adobe however.

Nice Bob - really great details in this one.
