Description

That's my first attempt to adopt Photoshop in my workflow.

With Pixinsight I performed Mure denoise, deconvolution and StarNet++ to separate the nebula from the stars, then I moved to Photoshop and did several adjustments and enhancements trying to achieve a deep perception of its central structures.

I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the suggestion to my friend @Riccardo_Sgaramella.
