David,
Here's what I got with ME. I used 9 interations with a PSF of 2.2
followed by some HF filtering and a mild unsharp mask. I also took some red out of the image.
I noticed the background had a lot excess blue (taken at sunrise?), and I also think if there was more black space around the image ME would do a better job since it would have a better noise sample.
I don't know why but some images will not work with ME. Yours did. Sometimes I get an image that simply disappears with ME and never comes back - even after 99 iterations! Its not science I guess. If the image will work with ME, then it will do a better job of controlling noise than LR.
If someone could tell us what logic to use in choosing a PSF it would be great. All I know is if the PSF is to large you get donuts for moons and nasty ringing around eclipse shadows and planets.
