Looks like the tune up worked Greg
... looking at the bright stars it looks like they have been worked on to make'em smaller, what did you do to the stars? Decon? Did you apply star shrinking to the fainter stars too? Only ask out of interest because they look good regardless, nice work
I thought you were having star bloat problems with the 684? There are some mixed gradients in the back ground but the lovely soft look works and the faint outer arms are there...but I'm thinking there is more detail in there somewhere though..? Or do you think you have reached the seeing limit on this occasion?
Hope that didn't sound like a nit pick list
it's a really nice image, just musing out loud
