I then registered and combined the master image from each of these with Pixelmath with scaling. I used Multi-Scale linear transformation to sharpen the image and a very slight HDR transformation to bring out the fainter detail. This created the master luminance.Each master R, G and B sub is the best 50% of 5000 frames. I registered the separate RGB channels with…
