Looks like I'm in the minority. I still prefer the previous version, which looked just fine on my calibrated screen (absolutely no clipping and plenty of background level). The faint background Ha in the original was perfectly red whereas it is now orange (checked RGB values), same goes for the stars which very closely followed black body RGB values in the original (http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/blackbody/). In the repro, stars that were previously red are now orange (again, checked RGB values).

But, as, Rogelio Bernal Andreo says; "There are as many schools of astroimage processing as there are astrophotographers."

It's a fine image regardless!
