Photoshop: 

Filter Unsharp Mask in Photoshop allows see more clear details which exist but still not so good visible after Registax (especially it is important for such small telescope as Celestron 4SE). But if Unsharp is too aggressive some artifact appears. So, first I decreased a little bit brightness to make possibility use aggressive Unsharp Mask. After that used Unsharp Mask which was still have some small artifacts. And smooth these artifacts with filter Noise Median radius 3. Finally I added a little bit magenta.
