Trumpler 14 contains hot, blue stars, and this was not shown in the earlier versions. Also, the 4K resolution image submitted to CWAS showed "speckle" around many of the stars, due a processing error on my part. I've still not completely fixed that aspect, which would require a serious amount of time to repair.
Apart from addressing the above, I masked the stars and added a smidge of USM to the nebulosity with photoshop. The changes are subtle, but I think worthwhile.

I went looking unsuccessfully for your original version, to see what changes you made following Dr. Malins' input - would be an interesting comparison for us all to learn from.
So maybe we need a section here on the forum for "Benchmark images" of various subjects - this would surely be the definitive image for this one.
