Final attempt at the Swan

I had another go at processing the Cygnus widefield. After finding a way of reviewing all the taken frames that is.

I appear to have lost some colour, but I'm happy with the result. It looks a lot better now.

I also found that in one of the frames I had an intruder, which I hadn't realised. I processed this single frame and this is what came out :
