Description

Once again I changed the way I process my images. This is the first try to do so. I took the same original picture of M45 I used in my previous tries.

I was quite impressed of the result although I'm not completely satisfied (especially the noise in the center and the outer regions seem a little bit to smooth)

Processing technique is by Scott Rosen.

Version B: new try with better background and colours and less stars
