Reprocessing of The Forsaken and Cocoon nebulae

45 minutes worth of 5 minute exposures of the Forsaken nebula were captured with AstroDMx Capture through a William Optics 81 mm ED APO refractor with an Altair Hypercam 533C 14 bit OSC CMOS camera with an Altair quadband filter.

The data were debayered, calibrated, stacked and SpectroPhotometric Color Corrected and stars removed in PixInsight; post processed in the Gimp 2.10, Background extraction and stretched in GraXpert and SetiAstro's Cosmic Clarity for sharpening and final denoising.
