It creates artefacts on bright or dark edges and gives this kind of 'bubbly'/embossed look. Have a look at the latest shot Peter Ward posted. It's a very similar image scale (on display resolution) so it's easy to map fine details one on one. Your shot shows all the faint features he's picked in his but your edges are rougher. So I think not sharpening your shot at all with more data will be well on par with Peter's although you guys are using very different instruments.

Bad precedent Marc - let's just appreciate images that are posted here on their merits rather than compare them to one another - can of worms mate, trust me!! And you don't need to justify your initial position - you already said you don't like it (and I'm perfectly fine with that) - leave it there and wait for me to complete the image. Finally, high pass is not destructive if - like any other sharpening / contrast enhancing method - it's handled properly.

I hate it when my Schwartz gets twisted!!
I'm afraid it's no contest contest Peter - I processed mine blindfolded!
