Challenge Peter - Elephant's Trunk Nebula

In this tutorial I'll show you my latest PixInsight / Photoshop workflow that can radically transform an image! This photo was sent in by one of my Deep Space Course students, who was having some trouble extracting the nebula from the background. Without the help of the advanced tools in PixInsight, I don't think I would've been able to pull this off!
