Description

This is supposed to be largest globular cluster in Milky Way. But it looks dim due to massive distance from us.
I cropped image twice to "increase" resolution.  

Processing:
RGB combine.
Dynamic Crop for RGB and Lum
DBE for RGB and Lum
Color calibration for RGB
Blur and Noise XT for RGB and Lum.  
Manual stretching in HT for RGB and Lum
LRGB is created.
Noise XT, stretch again.
Mask with Lum, which is enhanced with Morphological Transformation.
HDR Multiscale Transform 
LHE with 40 Kernel radius
MMT-sharp with 0.4 setting for each layer.
Curve for star saturation and brightness adjustment
Done.
