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. |
Hi Marcus
I've always wondered if it's a monitor thing that allows us to see different aspects of an image. Plenty of time others have seen things I haven't and vice versa. Even room conditions and light sources change how we see detail.
And maybe noise is the wrong term. Mottling, maybe? I looked at your Flickr image before posting and I can still see it, and it's not anything related to background objects. There's a grey-black mottle in the background (again excluding background object, it's in the background itself) that I don't see (as much) in the old image. I can even see it in your right crop
I can see it in this crop as well.
