Could you perhaps do some contrast enhancement on the tight crop enlargement to crisp it up a little?

Thanks, Marcus. Yes, there does seem to be room to make the bright main subject a bit crunchier. We'll do that.

I would have been tempted to try some HDR toning in Photoshop on the small crop.

Thanks, Allan. Yes, we'll have a crack at making the small crop crisper.

Boy, I would not like to be living in either one of those galaxies!

Cheers, Greg! Life there would need to be resistant to x and gamma rays.
