Hi Fernando, yes, as far as the details go, this latest version is much better, the detail showing is now much more real and not so artificially induced by the processing. I don't mind either colour palettes, they both look good, it was the essentially unnatural detail that spoiled the original version for me. There should also be three distinct colour hues within the image to reflect the fact that three filters were used, otherwise and although it may well look aesthetically ok, it becomes essentially a Bi-Colour image and the third filter data was kind of a waste of time.

Personally I am not a big fan of the all white stars either, for me narrowband stars should show some sort of colour variation, even some magenta stars look good in a narrowband field in my opinion (to me this is a perfectly legitimate effect of the palette), as long as it is not too strong.

Great rework

Mike
