Reprocess of NGC253

I have spent hours on this one.
Reprocessed using a star mask to allow me to clean up and resaturate the stars. Then the Galaxy was reprocessed on it's own.

I am a little surprised at the diference between monitors, in particular the laptop I do all my work on and the LCD at work. The colour diference is quite dramatic. The laptop is regularly calibrated using Spyder2 Monitor calibrator and does show up most images very well and is a good starting point for professional studio print calibration.

It is evident that each and every monitor has it's own colour cast and brightness base making it very dificult to be truely critical of any image. I am even doubting my own images and calibration. Where to from here? God alone knows because I sure as hell don't.

This reprosses appears to be some improvement but shows I have a long way to go. The first post in the thread now has both images attached.
