In the case of the Jewel Box image I have about a 15 magnitude spread between Beta Crux (mag 1.3) and the faintest stars in the image (according to The Sky/Hubble GSC around mag 16 ).... that's just shy of a million to one in brightness levels (!!) ....yep, there is some flare there! but given the dynamics I think the camera/scope did a great job
As for Ngc253's close companions, CCD guru's much more skilled than myself have found them to be blue... so I figured, who am I to change them?
