The Wizard Nebula

[Starwiz]

I actually acquired the data for this one back in August, but due to some challenges with the processing, I've only just got round to finishing it.

Imaged from Malta.

24.25 hours total integration time in SHO plus an hour of RGB for the stars.

Nice - looks like you've got some great data.

However, to me it looks like a bit too much noise reduction may have been applied to the nebula? I feel it could be far more detailed with a gentler touch.

Yes, perhaps.   The noise in the SII channel was very bad for some reason.
