Hi Steve,
nice picture of a rare and difficult target.
Most of the information is at the dim end of the dynamic range so
if you would have stretched the original FITS files with
NASA FITS Liberator using maximum compression of x^(1/5)
then it would have brought out the dimmer areas with more intensity.
Maybe you could have then tried a little LAB mode to increase the saturation
but I'm not sure if the image can take that without adding colour noise?
cheers
Allan
