Inspired by Paul Haese's cool image and Mike Sidonio's Sidonio, I went back and revisited my year old NGC 4945 image with my recently learned decon layer blending technique to see if I could improve the fine detail. Previously, my approach to sharpening was quite blunt (pun intended) as it tended mostly to accentuate contrast and, in fact, obliterate fine detail.
Attached are the before (left) and after (right) versions (250% enlargement of a small section of the frame) - the increase in detail is quite remarkable!
