Great attempt Wolfgang and I hope you take these comments with the intent they were meant. I will caveat this with, I'm not the best at LRGB processing and there are many on this site far more proficient than I. It looks like to me you have run a process in Astro Pixel Processor which is similar to Pixinsight's Morphological transformation which can result in the odd blobs we see in you image. I struggled so much with it, I don't even use that method any more (others may be able to provide better guidance here). I use either a high pass filter or wavelets to shapen my images. Nic covers this in his tutorials (on this site).Secondly work on your colour a little, try running a colour calibration, or inverting the image and removing the green.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you Philip! I'm in the process of working through the tutorials and there's a lot to learn. Will give it another shot later on based on your hint.
