The sharpness of the pillars is outstanding, and the stars are tight and round across the field. I have to ask about the background smoothness. Is that a noise reduction filter applied? Seems to have that waxy, too smooth look? Not criticising, just curious. I can only compare the backgrounds to my modest equipment, with which I see much more noise and I guess as a result, accept a more noisy background. Higher end gear must be smoother (and I've noticed that recently on one of Bert's raw images recently), but don't know to what extent.
