I made the stars smaller and used blurred layer masks on selected areas
to give more contrast and sharpening to the center of the galaxy
and another mask to increase brightness in the outer areas.
I also added a tiny bit extra colour saturation.
So I think I could do even better on the original stack so I will leave it to you
to maybe have another go at the processing if you want to?
cheers

Hi Allan yeah I’d love to see your efforts mate more than welcome to add them. Yeah my post processing is very basic with some minor adjustments such as colour calibration and LP gradient removal in APP and noise reduction but no star masks, decon or star reduction so definitely agree this is an area to work on. Quite certain I’ll enjoy your work!
