Imagine what a guy like Ken Crawford could do with that data?

Yes it needs a rework. When I grow up I want to be just like Ken! Sorry only kidding. Thanks for your input.

You need to make it individual, especially the colour, it's in the eye of the beholder, like M42, Eta it is like a chamelon

Its due for a repro. I actually liked the LRGB only version a lot. Perhaps I'll start there. Part of it is the data wasn't that great (I mean it still has a lot of detail but the wind pushed the autoguider around a bit).
Colours aren't quite right, contrast too harsh.

Its has that bombers logo look to it, far too constrasty IMO. Eta has many faint and fuzzy attributes, and those really need a softer touch.

Yes its a bit too hard. A repro is in order.

The stars are originally too large. Even though the autoguider did a good job the averaging of the buffeting over 10 minutes left enlarged round stars. So decon is there and I did after Steve's post run some min filter which is in a plugin. Your take on the star rework not being required is probably spot on. Cheers.
It needs a rework. The image isn't there yet. Thanks for your input.

Overall a pretty dramatic image Greg, surely the impact is there, but I would go for a less contrasted version (and I am one who usually like strong contrasts, in particular on colors  )

Interesting. Which artifacts do you see? The only issue with this chip has been small wells and overblowing bright stars occassionally otherwise its a near perfect chip. I haven't seen microlense artifacts. What are you seeing there?
I agree too contrasty.
Thanks for your input Marco, much appreciated.

Thanks for that. I hope you like the repro when done too.
Greg.
