Cheers Adam!

Noise? What noise?

You won't be able to discern noise from the reduced res crop I posted (apart from maybe jpeg compression noise).

Attached is a full res crop of old (left) and new that includes some background. You can see the old one has more noise there. You may be thinking that the somewhat more visible stars in the galaxy & background are noise

Please note though, that I did not NoiseXterminate the galaxy after I improved the contrast and I should probably do a little bit of that.

PS: And I don't think you'll be able to see background noise at full res in the new one - unless you're pixel peeping maybe?
I'm happy for you to post a tight crop of an area where you perceive more noise so I can see exactly what you're talking about.
