The centre of 253 is somewhat posterised (due to smoothing and sharpening perhaps), with some resultant loss of detail, but the galactic fountain streaks are nicely visible.

Very well done!
Thanks M&T! Yeah I see that. Happened very early on in the processing with a masked stretch. Fixed. I have to be careful not to be too aggressive with the mask stretches as they can leave some odd looking artifacts. Something I don't see too well when processing at 2am. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks Marc! Don't have a pool room.
