Description: So, thanks to help from Mabula from AstroPixelProcessor I think I got it now. I had to open the stack directly in PShop without the camera stuff. Now it got the mode right and everything looks more natural. Just mild unsharp mask and levels applied and some Astronomy Tool Space noise reduction. Now I am REALLY done with this set of subs, I promise :D

Description: So, I am convinced I can't do better with these subs. Did some final touches in AstroPixelProcessor and then just adjusted curves mildly, reduced noise with AstronomyTools and sharpened mildly in Photoshop. I am going to think twice next time before I shoot a globular cluster with this camera :D

Description: Challenge accepted ;) Lets see what comes after revision Z :D
Just kidding, followed Jans advise and added a high pass filter for some more sharpening.

Description: Wasn't happy with the light pollution on the right hand side, so ran this through the APP light pollution removal tool. After that only the minimum postprocessing, unsharp mask, mild curves and space noise removal
