Sombrero Reprocess - When Less Is More

Hi all,

I've taken time to reprocess my Sombrero image from earlier this year. However, rather use my best 800 subs (from a total of 900), I chose to use my 360 best subs. I also drizzled this time and processed a little differently.

Overall, I am pleased as I believe I have gained a little resolution, perhaps at the expense of a less clean background. New image on the left; original image on the right. What do you think? Is it worth sacrificing over a dozen hours of subs just to select the very best ones? I believe in this case it is.

Please feel free to comment. Constructive criticism welcome.

Bigger version here.

Hope y'all enjoy. Clear skies.
Stephane
