Love to know the processing tricks you used to get this outstanding image. It's way better than most of the other images for the same data set.
Thank you very much Mark!
I used the GHS script in PI for stretching and the tools from Russ Croman (BXT, NXT, StarXT). I also used the Foraxx Palette Utility Tool from Paulyman Astro. Here is a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl3_r3bL8Ys.
Last but not least, I did some tweaking in Photoshop (Selective Color Correction, Color Enhancement via LAB mode and the APF-R Sharpening Tool).
Fantastic image. Well done
Many thanks Simon! Very much appreciated.
