Aaah Mike - it sure is a beautiful galaxy isn't it!!! And it's interesting to see how increasing processing skills can improve an old image. I love the detail in yours - spectacular! You inspired me to see what a mere 12 months more experience can do so I went back and improved my version a bit to. Not finished yet, but it's amazing what a properly deconvoluted Lum layer can do!
