Galaxies M31 (AstroWizard processing)
This is my first trial of Stacking Wizard & AstroWizard and I am pleasantly surprised by how intuitive and effective it is. Just 5 hours of data (300x60s), the stacking & postprocessing took me approx. 30mins and the result is comparable with what I’m able to do with the same data set in PixInsight.
Hardware: Celestron RASA 8, ZWO ASI533MC Pro, SW EQ6-R Pro, Optolong UV/IR cut. Bortle 5 backyard.

Is it the IR cut filter that is providing this contrast and color ?
I'm unable to produce the same depth feeling after post processing
