A galaxy in leo- NGC 3521

This is data captured by a fellow astrophotographer- Greg Turgeon. He was kind enough to share his data so I took a crack at processing it. This is a spiral galaxy, which has a distinct ghostly shell around it. 

For a fun bit of perspective- here's what it looks like before processing:

There's a patreon post about that! https://www.patreon.com/posts/35094095

In EL5 how in the world does the original picture get processed into the final picture? Is the final picture actually what it looks like if I was close enough? How do you bring out such detail from such a dark picture? Genuinely curious. Looks great btw.

That is stunning!
