A very subjective topic Allan,
I think your first image is probably closer to the mark than the 2nd. Reckon processing really should be sympathetic to the quality of the seeing. Over cooking ordinary data makes for a very grainy look and adds unwanted artifacts. Really good data actually requires very little processing. For sure experimentation is the best way to learn and work it out for yourself. Personally I mostly go with Castrator, AS, R6, Astra Image Pro then finish off with CS4. Then there is Birds most excellent ninox which I use if I capture 16bit Fit data instead of avi.
I think the best advice I could give is to record on paper what you do so you have a record of what works and what doesn't work for each particular target.
Regards
Trevor
