Description: A lot more data but struggling to do anything after LRGBC. Just a little saturation so far, everything else is meh. I think I need to start at the beginning and try some more things, I want to get some more contrast on the dust boundary.

Description: Last image was a bit much and dust is basically blown across the image. Not realistic. This is a bit better, using Gaussian scaling functions to extract residual wavelet layers for different kernel sizes then combine back together to build some more gradient. Not much there to work with or I'm doing everything wrong. More data is always an option (eventually)!

Description: Used a new script I created to enhance the large structures. But this was overdone. So extracted L from the original stretched RGB, denoised, stretched a bit, and LRGBC back into that original. Then added the script produced image plus this LRGBC. Dust is retained, stars are sharpened, and overall background is much better. I don't have the previous image attempts uploaded but overall it seems pretty good. Not overdone at least..

Description: A lot more data but a few new problems. I had a blemish on the UVIR cut filter I didn't notice until integration and it required some cleanup. I went for visual appeal and just used inpaint in AP to clean up the areas, which were on the edge of the frame. My attempts to do a better job and retain real stars were just not working and I decided it wasn't worth the time.

Description: Less is more.. went for a simpler processing. Popped out to Affinity Photo to repair artifacts. Did a simple pull on L with a mask created from the dust. Slight clipping of black point to give a bit of a translucent feel, then added stars back in (after the "normal" treatment).

Description: This is more what I've been wanting out of this target. Same master lights as the last time, learning is everything..
