That looks great, surprised me when I read it's LRGB and not NB.

There's lots of good ol' broadband data in this subject.

Thanks for the comments Paul. It's entirely possible there is a slight green cast there. I have three computer monitors and I've tried calibrating all of them equally yet my images show slightly different color casts across all three. It doesn't help that my monitors are all over 10 years old.

Lovely image - particularly the starfield.  Many would suggest capturing more luminance than RGB but your results speak for themselves.  I do wonder if the data would show a bit more detail in the core if you adopted an HDR approach and masked through a less stretched version?

That kind of processing may be above my pay grade.... Haha!  But I'll give it a try. Thanks~
