Cygnus Loop widefield, OSC data reprocess

[lensman57]

Hi,

The promised clear evening  did not materialise again last night, by 10.30 pm the clear blue skies of the earlier hours were replaced with thick black clouds, how can they get the weather forcast so wrong? Any how the world cup football was nothing to brag about either so I decided to reprocess the data from a few nights ago as I was not really happy with the star shapes and what PI's deconvolution had done to the image. This one is a mix of simple histogram stretch and and masked stretch through a star mask. There are still some chroma noise around some of the stars but to my eyes they look more natural and subtle, the colour stauration looks more natural too . Hope you like it. This is reduced to nearly 20% of the original size to keep  SGL happy.

Regards,

A.G
