I redid this one. I realised the background was too black clipped on the original and the stars had been damaged by some processing steps on the galaxy making them stunted.
This is a bit more subtle and shows perhaps a tad more detail and the stars are more natural. Thought I'd go for the modern galaxy look which is to have a lightish background so as not to lose out the faint details and show the correct night sky colour of a shade of grey rather than black.

What do you think? I haven't done a lot of galaxies really.
