      NGC 6729 v2

      I went back to this dataset taken using (CHI-1 Planewave CDK24) and reprocessed in PixInsight. I added two new steps in my workflow. I used imageintegration to create a synthetic luminance from the L,R,G and B images. I also used HDRMultiscaleTransform to compress the dynamic range of the image. The colors, detail and contrast are much improved.
