Leon, yes, these mainstream targets can get a little blasé, but there's always opportunities to frame it differently to provide a different perspective. The FOV is quite remarkable. As you indicate, a little soft due to focus and it would appear you've tried to compensate for this through sharpening as the stars are beginning to show a few dark rings around them.
Something I've done before with widefields, is perform a very light unsharp mask across the entire image in PS - make sure it is very light (in some cases barely perceivable - its always easy to over do it) - just to tighten up a few features and stars. Keep an eye on the stars and in particular the noise in the process. Sharpening the entire image can be flaunt with danger if you've got noise present in the dim area as it will emphasise it. Then duplicate the layer and run the unsharp mask filter again, with the same settings or slightly stronger - but mask the effect to give you control over where you want that extra punch of detail i.e. around the spider and other wisps of nebulosity. If you find this layer is having a profound/un-natural impact on the data, simply drop the layer opacity down to 20% or 30%.
Look forwarding to seeing more posts from, either you have posted much or I've been away for too long (more than likely the latter). Keep at it.
so next time I can get it right.
