I think what appeals to me most is that it looks fairly "natural" with nothing pushed too far - which is actually damned hard to do after multiple interations of decon, sharpening, laying, etc of course. Allan makes an excellent point too that the hobby is already subjective enough without the variation most of us introduce with un-cal'd monitors (I've got 3 and I'm regularly shocked when I sometimes move something across onto another during processing and notice an issue previously missed   )
Kudos too Greg for writing up in such detail what you did do, as galaxy processing is a steep learning curve for most of us. Even though I'm more of a Pixinsight guy, I really appreciated those insights 
Hmmm, I'm getting all philosophical - time for some fresh air outside. Fingers crossed we might even get a chance for a (moonlit) astro fix tonight here in Bris... |
Thanks Rob. Its been a tradition of this site to be very open about processing techniques. Ken Crawford, Louie have been very generous with their postings and many others have outlined in detail how to do things. I have learnt from these as well and it nice to be able to give back what you have received.

Thanks Steve. I haven't reprocessed it yet as I know it will take 3 or 4 hours! But I will do one with more attention to the stars and the background. Topaz labs is a good plug in but it can wreak havoc with your background if there are residual gradients which I mostly get with my CDK17 and my home site.
Thanks for the critiques they are all appreciated.
Greg.
