I don't mind th small amount fo mottling which on my monitor at least is quite subtle now, rather than without it and the overall galaxy loses some of its extent. A processing choice. Perhaps if I get the time I can present one not as pushed.

Thanks. M74 is a bit of a dim galaxy so probably not the best target if you have limited time and weather but it has such a nice form to it I couldn't resist.

Looks like you have some nice detail going on in the inner regions though. It's a magnificent galaxy, love the tight inner core spiral!
Overall, an enjoyable view

Cheers Mike. I am not sure how the earlier version got through. I usually double check it. Perhaps a setting on my monitor (I often set it to eye saver as I find this monitor hard on my eyes and that changes the colour).
The remaining mottling on my monitor is very subtle and I wanted to push it to show the extent of the arms not normally seen. But perhaps its better to not do that and make sure what is shown has no shot noise.
Greg.
