I don't mind at all the color palette as long as they're meaningful (i.e. you don't selectively mix channels). Whatever palette you use if it clearly defines different area of the nebs that works for me.
The only bone I'll pick is that although you have managed to get down to a very good level of details including your star sizes your processing (AI or other) has gone one level down too far and started generating what is perceive as very fine structures both in the dark parts and highlights of the picture.
That stuff is just not real and very obvious to check blinking between your shot 1:1 and other registered shots at a different image scale.
You have a sharp scope and the skills to product good pictures now. So that stuff is just letting you down right at the end IMHO. It's not improving your pics. On the contrary. |
I don't agree and I think result is great.
Sure - the stars are a bit hardened but the detail looks genuine.
Compare to a much higher resolution APOD
also in narrow band:

Andy would need to post an unsharpened version to be sure.
