      NGC 1097

      This image was processed in PixInsight using Telescope Live raw L, R, G, and B data. After calibration and precise channel integration, DynamicBackgroundExtraction and SpectrophotometricColorCalibration were applied to achieve a clean background and accurate color balance. BlurXTerminator was used to refine sharpness and recover fine structural details, while NoiseXTerminator and EZ Denoise provided smooth, natural noise reduction. The luminance channel was then combined with the RGB image to enhance contrast and texture, resulting in a balanced and detailed final view of the galaxy.
