This would certain take your output quality to the next level and yes, you can still use noise control techniques without destroying your background faint fuzzes. Seriously, don't know what's holding you back.  Shame about the internal reflection too. If you're keen, you can chase it PS, but it will take. Again, thanks for the swim around. Certainly a pleasure to see the details on display. Well done. |
Thanks Jase.... I accept your considered comments buuuut....
The thing is, I guess we just have to agree that we see imaging and image processing from slightly different perspectives. I am not a noise-aphobe, I would rather have some natural acceptrable noise in my image than to try layer masking on top of layer masking on top of layer masking with the end result being an image with obvious varying levels of bluring and resolution across the frame, which is what happens in the vast majority of images that use these techniques to handle noise.
As I have said MANY times before, it is not ALL about the intricacies and percieved need for perfection of the image processing or the absolute artistic quality of the subject matter that is the total motivation for every image. I could go on but I think I am hitting a brick wall..?
Just enjoy a rarely imaged group of galaxies sharing the sky with countless faint background galaxies all with different morphologies - beautiful in my opinion
Thanks again
Mike
