2_ Color noise reduction 100% (gets rid of pink stars mostly)

3_ Shadow/Highlights to bring out a bit more surrounding neb.

4_ light pass of noise ninja (or other) to get rid of remaining noise in faint areas.
Thanks Marc. Will give it a go. Your repro does look good. I'll have plenty of time to try it all out as I'm back on night shift and the sky is perfect. A remote setup sounds good but the boss might object.

Thanks Darren. The colours are a bit different from what we are used to but it does seem to improve the overall contrast on nebulae like this. At least I can get some imaging in with the moon up.
