Lagoon and Trifid Mosaic MegaStack 7.5h

50:50 mix of 180s, 70gain and 180s, 80gain. Bortle 7.3 skies, Brisbane, Australia. Processed just in stellar studio. The recent Dwarf app upgrade provides the ability to do mixed mosaic stacks, allows versatility for tuning the image to bring out the features you want. The slight mix of 70 and 80gain in a 50:50 mix brought out the reflection nebula well (more visible at 80 gain) while not getting too overexposed with the stars (stars looked much nicer at 70 gain). Perhaps 75 gain would have produced the same result. It’s a shame Dwarf only allows 10 gain steps when 5 gain steps may provide better fine-tuning. DWARF LAB perhaps an option for a future update? Settings to unlock more incremental steps for those that really like to tune it (i.e. a fine-tuning mode on/off toggle in settings).

This is absolutely fantastic! Is the Bortle 7.3 skies a typo!?
