I didn’t find this an excessively noisy image. But I used a few denoise options in DT which included astrodenoise masked to the brown sky color. I forgot to use the hot pixels module and I presume there are some hot pixels. DSC00325.ARW.xmp (11.7 KB)
Personally, I usually just set DT’s “denoise (profiled)” module to the “chroma only” preset and I am happy. Also in this case, I think it actually looks almost better with the luma noise. But here, I used another instance of wavelets to remove it and it turns out nicely enough to my eye.
