Description

Image of Arp 168 (aka M32). 

Processing:
Dynamic Crop for R, G, B, Lum
GraXpert for Lum, R, G and B.
RGB combine.
DBE for RGB
Color calibration for RGB
Blur and Noise XT for RGB and Lum.  
I usually do Star XT for RGB. However, it has eaten a part of galaxy
Standard linear HT stretching for RGB and Lum
LRGB is created.
Noise XT and then HT stretch again.
Star XT again did not work. It was even worse than before stretching. 
Mask with Lum.
LHE, Kernel radius 40 power 0.5
MMT sharp
Curve for saturation and brightness adjustment for both stars and galaxy. This step was repeated several times. 
Slight Cropping
Done.
