IC 1805 is a star forming region in Cassiopeia with young stars in its core. Distance to earth is about 7500 light years,

This is the final result of several different ways of processing this picture.

Processing

Stacking Software: DSS
Imaging: PixInsight (for the final version)

The image suffers a bit from the fact, that the distance from reducer to sensor chip was not correct. Star images at the edges are a bit distorted.

Different combinations of red and GB channel give different result. In the following image I have mixed a bit more of the GB channel into the green channel of the combination.

It’s a matter of taste …

My first attempts on this image however were made with Gimp only. The result was mainly reddish. And you see clearly the effect of missing star reduction, which was not known to me at that time.

Or with a bit more punch …
