My second (and first successful) try of the orion nebula. Any advice for editing out the noise and these stripes? What are these?

    One trick for removing walking noise in post is to use a tool like StarNet++ to decompose the image into stars and nebulae, then mask out the nebula in the image. Invert the mask and desaturate.

    Like others said, if possible, try dithering in the future. It’ll help to minimize walking noise to begin with. It’s pretty easy to configure in most imaging software, but typically requires autoguiding.
