As a relatively inexperienced imager, I make it a point to blink compare my imaging and processing efforts with others before finalising and posting. I discovered early on that artifacts can easily be introduced by stretching, noise reduction and smoothing low S/N data (if you're not careful). It's easy to inadvertantly process out real detail and process in stuff that's not there. A blink comparison between Richard's shot and others clearly reveals both kinds of artifacts I'm afraid.

Cheers, Marcus
