Scotty Alder has put me onto something pretty cool, a very simple star size reduction technique. It is very good for revealing the nebulosity in an image and giving the image a narrow band fine star look. It is a bit crude and tends to give the image a processed look but the fine structures in the nebulosity are more easily seen when the eye doesn't have to contend with comparatively bloated stars. I think I will explore this technique more and see if the processed look can be worked around while still maintaining the fine structure revealed
I posted my Ultra Deep Cen A image with this process applied now here is the Hand of God with an amazing 3D look:
