We cant discount Mike's experienced eye, he has correctly identified the techniques I applied to the data. Lets look at what he is referring to for the benefit of the thread.
Below are three 100% crop sections of the synthetic Luminance data extracted from the RGB channels. Decon was only applied the synthetic luminance.
Image 1: Before deconvolution
Image 2: After deconvolution (applied to linear data)
Image 3: After decon and wavelet sharpening (applied to non linear data with star mask active)
I normally include decon in my workflow but try and keep the iterations quite low so not to introduce unwanted artifacts. Also remember I was cheeky and re sampled the 100% full res to 50% and posted that image to Astrobin. This will make it harder but not impossible, to spot any deficiencies.
The backlash slop in RA is evident in the images, if I can adjust this out a little mechanically, then the data will benefit and the detail will tighter at integration.
For me, its about (hopefully) producing pretty pictures. Do what ever you need to to get them and share them with your friends.
