Awesome!!!
Thank you, Julian.
excellent processing! I like it!
Thank you, Georg. It did take some time.
Love how you got this galaxy to look 3D. I seems like we are falling into the center star region.
Thanks, James. I focused the sharpening on the center area more than the outer regions. I think that gives the illusion of zooming in to the center.
