New postprocessing, hopefully an improvement......

That's a nice result for the time spent Ørnulf.
I like the spread of yellow and white stars, and I hadn't realised how much the nebulosity soften the detail in this Nebular. The few sharpies I've seen of it must have filtered data sets behind them.
Not a complaint, but a query: Is there some CA down the left side, or am I imagining it. It could be a result of the palette I thought.
