It was the first time using my new camera in heavy LP from the metro area where I have been staying.  I went with the L-eNhance filter and picked the Rosette Nebula to test it.  The Rosette was just crossing the meridian when I started imaging it.   Also, I was troubleshooting the issues I have with flats, which this camera seems to be very sensitive about and worked on that during this session.

I also tried something new for me in processing the image.  A relatively new (2017) sharpening procedure called Absolute Point of Focus  (APF or APF-R) was done on the image.  You can read about it and see two videos on how it is done at this link.

In this case, I had already ran the image through Starnet++ to cleanly remove all the stars.  I then used the APF-R method to enhance the nebula only, blending in the stars afterwards.   I must say the sharpening seemed superior to most other techniques I’ve used.
