More data from a couple of weeks ago that I just hadn't had time to process. New color subs were much better, and new L was a mix of good, poor, and so-so... There were apparently some stacking issues (CCDStack) that I think were from some of the subs having more or less background gradients than others. I wanted to stretch the image a bit more, but also didn't want to just crop the edges. So I compromised. Any suggestions on a fix would be most welcome.
