Eta Carina and a new image processing pathway!

This image was stacked from 6 x 2 minute individual frames in Deep Sky Stacker and prleminary stretching and noise reduction was carried out in Startools (Previously I have used Nebulosity for both these functions).  Then, as per my old ways, some tweaking in Photoshop.

Here's the same image processed in my old image processing pathway Nebulosity and Photoshop.
