Yes I puposely put up a version that only had curves and levels 'adjusted' as I knew people would want to play with it. I have never been really happy with GX when threre is so much detail present.GX seems to flatten the colour in the star clouds. It could also be possible that one loses it after 'processing' the same image for too long. Thats why I have been putting a 2.7" focuser on the 80ED and 100ED to minimise vignetting so there are no gradients to remove or minimise.
Any advice appreciated. I really should bite the bullet and obtain Imagesplus and learn how to use it.
Here is a very large pic of the Lagoon+Trifid taken with the modded 100ED
