tried some processing

Had a go at the supernova image in Photoshop. I wanted to coax out the host galaxy (Messier 82 or M82) harbouring SN 2014J. Manually stacked three focused frames. Levels with custom black and white points. Slight RGB and red curves adjustment.


Ugh. Too much red! Will need to tone that down.

I've been noticing the vignetting as well. I'll have to mask that out.

And, next time, I'll apply a dark frame to each light frame to get rid of the little hot pixel trails.
