This is my go at Astrobee's Wizard following The Lazy Geek's video.
Pixinsight
ABE
EZ Decon
EZ Soft Stretch
LRGB Combination (using Ha as Luminance)
PCC
Curves - Contrast, Saturation

Pretty colors and nice nebulosity. Well done.

Rasalgethi's nice version of this target brought out some nice featues. It prompted me to take another look at my previous post. I decided to try boosting some of the low-level nebulosity to give it more "life".
Processing starting from previous version (PixInsight):
Removed stars
Increased color saturation using Red Colormask and CurvesTransformation
Selectively increased low-level nebulosity with CurvesTransformation
Raised black level using HistogramTransformation
Added stars back
Ran SCNR to remove green
NEW VERSION
PREVIOUS VERSION

Thanks for your kind comments Steve. Your new version's colours stand out really well. The star removal before processing works well, my stars are over saturated. But I do like the way the over saturated stars makes the Wizard's eyes more prominent!
