A good result Martin, however your statement that "This image is presented as documentary astrophotography and has not use any AI enhanced or AI assisted technology during post processing." has got my attention, especially as you've also used SV Decon (with default settings).

After reading the description of SV Decon on the startools website (https://www.startools.org/modules/sv-decon), i'm struggling to see how it differs in a meaningful way from BlurX (https://www.rc-astro.com/software/bxt/). Both restore an image that has been compromised by optical and other aberrations, and both account for changing PSF across the image (rather than assuming a fixed PSF applies everywhere). Both then employ deconvolution (compared with simple "sharpening"). And yet (and correct me if i'm wrong) you would view an image processed with SV Decon as being Documentary astrophotography, while the same image processed with BlurX is not...?
