M31 Rework

Old capture reworked to try and pull out more detail in dust lanes. 
A bit overblown in places but it’s all good practice.

That looks great, one of the objects I wish I could image from my location.

You've got that going all the way out to the edges very nicely.  Perhaps a tad heavy on the contrast as you suggest.

I agree Martin, I went a bit overboard on the local contrast (amongst other things). Think I got a bit carried away once I realised how much detail was still available. Haven’t got the energy to redo it for a little while yet. 😊
