Thank you Lee. Yes, it is a great feeling to be able to make a contribution to the DSO section on IIS after my prolonged absence. Perhaps one day I may tweak processing a bit, but at this stage will leave it as is.

Your careful processing, subtle touch and wider field have made all that turmoil and fine detail look like a lobster again.
Very best,

Thank you Mike. I generally tend to be very cautious with noise reduction/sharpening/highlighting features and stay away from decon altogether, but when it comes to colours, I can, at times, overdo things just a bit
EDIT: I have just "found" this fantastic image of the Lobster on Astrobin:
