Understood .. .
At AIC we had the top Hubble image processors a couple of times and of course they were doing NB well before any amature renderings. Their approch to this is if you are purely doing science then we would not introduce RGB and we have to watch how we stretch each frame as well as the combine strengths.
Many times when I do narrow band I will send my results to Zolt Levay and Dr. Travis Rector for their professional thoughts as I know I push the limits of color with my data. It is always interesting to hear their advice on what tweaks they would make. I always find kind attention to their own personal tastes. It is important to have mentors and friends who can give heart felt advice.
Forums like this are a great place to test the waters with images to understand how others see our work. These types of discussions are very useful and it is one of great part of our hobby. That is were the technical art comes in and as you say, personal taste and the goals of the presenation becomes the front of mind in processing choices.
Keep up the great work Mike, your passion for your work shows and it is infectious to all . . .
