Hello,
as ZWO gets its own denoise function (and probably did not test my software), this will be for other people :
i made a test yesterday with no so good sky. First, it was very large field survey with C mount lens (8mm, F1.3). Second part of the video was mae with Canon FD 50mm F1.4 lens. Camera is an ASI485MC.
Camera gain is about 330 to 400 (maximum camera gain is 600). A lot of noise with such gain. I use BIN2 (ASI software BIN which add pixels AND noise).
Exposure time is about 150 to 300ms.
JetsonSky allows live treatments with several numerical filters in a single pass.
The video shows live treatment result. For information, Live treatment of each frame is quite fast because i use GPU to perform numerical filtering. For a fullHD image, treatment time is about 5ms to 100ms, depending of the number of filters i apply in a single pass.

That kind of result is impossible to get without my AADF denoise filter and without Star amplification filter.
I made a 4K video of deep sky, using my Canon FD 50mm F1.4 lens with a better sky. I used BIN1 with the ASI485MC. The result is interesting and live treatment is really cool. AADF denoise filter and Star amplification are a must have to get such result :

Too bad ZWO did not even test my software. AADF is the best denoise filter (and very fast. As fast as KNN or Fast NLM2 denoise filter but AADF preserve details and image sharpness) without a doubt.
I really hope my AADF won't become ZWODF without my agreement.
