Have you laid an unsharp mask on this?

I have a question for you; did you follow any particular processing
step to bring out the brownish dusty areas? I've imaged this are at up
to 195 minutes (f/8) and have not seen a hint of it. Granted, it was
not on my mind at all during processing, because I had forgtten it was
