I think I have made some real improvement is my processing in the last year. So, I decided to pull out some old data from this time last year, that I had previously processed to see if I could improve on it and to see if it was worth adding new data this year.
I have a lot of new precessing techniques and tools too and these have all helped a great deal.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Here is the link to the new processing.

Can something like that be seen visually through an eyepiece? I'm in light polluted new jersey.

i do like the more subdued colors. However, this is one of those things that is very monitor dependent. Every time I look at something I have processed on a different monitor, I want to go back and re-do it.
