Caldwell 20 – American Nebula

This is my first Nebula taken on the Dwarf Mini Smart scope.

I had it in Normal (Alt-Az) and Duo Band filter.

I took the Dwarf Minis stacked image and stretched it in AsiFitsView.  This is the result from that.

I then did some processing in photoshop ( Camera Raw for small tweaks ) levels, curves and vibrancy.  Then de-noised and sharpened.  To get this.

I then used Topaz Studio and also Topaz Star Effects to get these variants.
