Ok, so I am really pushing it here, but I am trying to learn how to process and bring out details. Here is my attempt at this and I would like serious opinions on whether the effort was justified.
This is the same data, re oriented to proper position from what I can tell and then re processed with the galaxies in mind.
Did it work can you see more without loss of anything?

Very nice!

Wow, that looks great. When you get the process down are you going to share details?

One thing with the "before" image, and this may be my monitor, is it looks darker around the edge, like the flat wasn't enough, or something like that. I didn't see that on the "after" image. Any difference there?

Keep the images coming.
