Thank you for your comments.
Tom: your question regarding the globular clusters: I had a look at one of the latests Sombrero pictures from Hubble and I think that my picture shows stars from the Milky Way. Hubble shows plenty of galaxies in the background but no globular clusters easy to see.
Greg: your question about sharpening. I did two deconvolution steps. One for the dust line and another one for the wing of the hat. The one for the dust line is much stronger than the other one. I combined them with layers and masks trying to keep the halo as it was. Lots of black, grey and white masking and blurring.
Anyhow, I see your point about noise in the halo. I will try to reduce it in the full version and then check how it looks in the cropped one. If it does not work, I will try directly in the cropped version.
Thanks,
Enrique
