I applied more on NGC 7582 than I did on NGC 7590 and NGC 7599, because 7582 had a kind of chunky look to the detail that I didn't like and that went away with more sharpening at the expense of some artefacts... which I prefer, but acknowledge isn't perfect 
The noise reduction I used I turned right down to the lowest setting and even that was too strong. I ended up blending it back into the image at 60% opacity. |
Knew it
...decon, wavelets now AI huh?....hmmm?..I'm getting too old for all this, I'm still locked in the unsharpmasked era
...artificial vs natural...
Where will it all end?
Great job Lee, luv yer work
Mike
