Description

This is a sharpened close-up of the signal in just the Sloan r' (visible) filter from my color image here.  The image was upscaled by 2x to 0.14" per pixel, then globally stretched with levels - and finally sharpened using PS6 smart sharpen - no AI or wavelets.  The sharpening was aimed at bringing out details of the nebulosity, without concern for obvious ringing artifacts around stars.

The resulting details are a good match with what is captured in this HST image.
