Crescent reworked

Thanks to Eric's suggestion, I redid my recent Crescent a bit to "unsoften" the nebula. I protected the background with a mask, then did an unsharp mask in Pixinsight. I do think it's better. Thanks, Eric.

Hi Larry,

I like it! Nothing inherently wrong with the smoothed version, but in my processing I aim for a "natural" look, and back off on the smoothing when it gets a bit "too" smooth. Great job!

Eric

Yup, that is better! Good job!

Hi Larry,
I liked the first version but your reprocess is even better,very good details.

Nice work!
