This is actually a pretty good image Rex and not that far from the winning deep sky shot at last nights DM awards really
some colour dynamics are missing as it is a bit red/white but for me the good things are that there are no obvious signs of deconvolution, wavelets or minimum filter ie no spotty backgrounds, little bright worms or detail all turned to perfect little dots. No flattened look from heavy handed shadow highlights either, so they're all good things!... a gold star from me
