Description: So, thanks to help from Mabula from AstroPixelProcessor I think I got it now. I had to open the stack directly in PShop without the camera stuff. Now it got the mode right and everything looks more natural. Just mild unsharp mask and levels applied and some Astronomy Tool Space noise reduction. Now I am REALLY done with this set of subs, I promise :D

Description: So, I am convinced I can't do better with these subs. Did some final touches in AstroPixelProcessor and then just adjusted curves mildly, reduced noise with AstronomyTools and sharpened mildly in Photoshop. I am going to think twice next time before I shoot a globular cluster with this camera :D

Description: Challenge accepted ;) Lets see what comes after revision Z :D
Just kidding, followed Jans advise and added a high pass filter for some more sharpening.

Description: Wasn't happy with the light pollution on the right hand side, so ran this through the APP light pollution removal tool. After that only the minimum postprocessing, unsharp mask, mild curves and space noise removal

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
