Description

Here is my looks at these objects the irregular NGC5053 and the globular cluster M53 which itself is a little different with a higher proportion of blue outlier stars thought to be caused by additional matter being consumed by some stars.

Rev a - RGB and synthetic lum only.

Rev b - LRGB, however i found all the lum was too much for the core of this globular cluster so only applied about 50%. At 100% it became a white ball and detail was lost on stars.

My summary RGB with synth lum nice, adding lum in a controlled manner helped release some of the details on the peripheries of the objects but needed to applied applied sparingly to the cores of the same object.

Feedback welcome - whats your preference ?
