Processing Using Nebulosity v1.5.1
Example 1: Cygnus @ 50mm

The constellation Cygnus was shot on a clear night using a Canon 400D (unmodified),
a Sigma 28-80mm zoom lens @ f/5, and an Orion Broadband light pollution filter.
18 frames of 2 minutes each were shot at ISO 1600.
5 dark and 5 flat frames were converted to Fits, then averaged to a master dark and a master flat.

Each stack of light frames was processed thus:
1. Batch conversion Canon Raw to Fits.
2. Pre-Processing was applied. Darks were auto-scaled. Pixel Map sensitivity was default.
4. Batch demosaic was done.
4. Translate and Rotate with Adaptive Scale Stack to 16 bits.
5. Files were saved as 16-bit Tiffs.
6. Files opened in Photoshop CS. Three Curves functions were applied to make images visible: Input level 20, output level 50.
