After seeing all the nice NGC 253 versions posted here I had another look at mine to see if I could squeeze out more detail. I've found that wavelet processing in Pixinsight works well with this.
Don't know Steve. More detail? - probably. Better? not sure, I personally don't like any overly digital image and PI images unless expertly used get these over contrast type looks which to my eye, are a step backwards.
A bit like the DSLR crowd who don't like an overly digital look and want a more organic look to their images type viewpoint.
The latest software tends to pull out every little contrast at the expense of naturalness. Its a look, just like pink and blue hair is, just not for me (I'm bald anyway hehehe).
Nice one Steve, I like the blues giving a good 3D appearance in the galaxy itself, Good going
Thanks Bob

Greg.
Yeah - point taken Greg. I tried to maintain a natural look but I think I may have pushed it too far. Anyway the original image was just a test so maybe I should have left it at that.
