Yes, I used Siril for stacking/ stretching, Starnett++ for star removal (to edit the glimpse of orion nebula a little better), GraXpert for gradient and noise, and BlurXTerminator for deconvolution.
Final editing was done in Photoshop.
Also any and all astro photos are allowed here, regardless of how “low effort” they are (as long as they follow the couple rules on the sidebar. I don’t want there to be any kind of arbitrary minimum quality standard to prevent people from posting their space photos on here.
Damn bruh, this is a tremendous shot with just an iPhone. Orion is truly spectacular. Note, the 2nd “star” in his sword is actually the Orion Nebula. Fucking 10/10.
Not sure if lewd joke or not, the answer is yes. And that fuzzy “star” in the center of his sword is the Orion Nebula, visible to the naked eye in dark skies. OP took a fucking amazing photo.
