Hello Together!

I'm struggling with the "right" brightness of my latest Project!

I have created several brightness Versions of my Iris with Dark Nebulas:

Darkest: https://www.astrobin.com/b13gdg/0/
A bit brighter: https://www.astrobin.com/b13gdg/E/
More brighter: https://www.astrobin.com/b13gdg/F/
Much brighter: https://www.astrobin.com/b13gdg/G/

But what should it be in your opinion?

Thanks for your advance!

Leave the "should" out and I like the darkest and bit brighter ones best, purely aesthetically preferred by me. Perhaps inbetween those I'd find my favourite.

"More brighter" and "Much brighter" are both fine for me. I picked "More brighter" because the Iris is not that overexposed as in "Much brighter". As long as you have control of the noise, don't afraid to brighten dark nebulae

Thank you for you opinions, I will stay at "A bit brighter" Version!

But I have seen, that the device and the light environment makes a huge difference by viewing the different Versions ...

I think a combination of both ends of your tests.  I like the brighter dust being pushed harder but I also like the darker background.  So maybe push the brighter dust but pull back the really faint dust a little bit.

Which one do you like, that is the one I like best. Process to your liking, not to what others think.
