Hi Fred,
What you have done is no more than what Peter Ward suggests us DSLR folks do. Up the red during processing which our cameras cannot capture so we dont get blue spiders. To my eyes the image does not look very overprocessed, even if we spend 100,000 bucks on equipment we cant have a hubble; and i think the processing you have done has produced a very striking image and allowed us to see more (rather than less) of what that galaxy looks like.
When it's all said and done I think that it's a bloody good image.
Paul
