Results of Improved Image Processing with PixInsight

Over the passed year, Phil and Mario have been providing great tutorials on improvements to PixInsight image processing. As one of their students, I'd like to share an example of my recent results. One of my favorite galaxies is the Needle (NGC 4565). Last time I imaged it was on a two evening session in May 2020. I imaged it again earlier this month and processed it with the new methods, and using PixInsight only (i.e. no Photoshop). The May 2020 sessions were a combined 115 images at 30 sec/exposure for a total of 58 minutes exposure. Remember this is with the RASA 11 with the f/2.2 optics, and the ZWO183 OSC CMOS camera. This month's single session also at a 30 second exposure and 125 images for 62 minutes total. I'm including both images for comparison.

With these new results, I'm tempted to combined all the images (>200) from all three sessions and reprocess again.
