Bernie, I ran Noiseware on it and this is what came out.

[Paxo]

WOW, noiseware makes a considerable difference. Thanks for thintro to it in your other thread.

Slightly less noise reduction, a bit of deconvolution adjustment (using Image Analyser), levels adjustment and a wee bit of Focus Adjustment usingf Photoshop..oh and cropped a bit.

It's all subjective and fun, fun fun

Tony, what's "deconvolution adjustment" ?? And is Image Analyser part of photoshop or some other program ?

Here's my attempt Bernie,unsharp mask,lens blur,brightness/contrast adjustment in pscs2 and noise removal in ps pro photoXI.

I've had a bash,Bernie but come up with much the same result as Tony. I think he has the right idea. What you could do is crop the image cutting out the vinagar, vinegar,vinegret, the dark bits round the edges and keep the best bit.

Cheers

John,

(Desperately bluffing to sound like I know what i'm talking about here ) Deconvolution is the application of a filter (algorithm) to untangle mixed signals. Normally you would use this kind of thing on a raw or unprocessed image before applying anything else, but i sometimes use the deconvolution settings in Image Analyser (http://meesoft.logicnet.dk/) as my first pass instead of unsharp masking at the end. There are all kinds of deconvolution that can be used in all kinds of ways on different kinds of astro-imaging...so I won't get into that particular minefield I then usually use PS for some basic processing (levels, curves etc ).

The Image Analyser software also has some really nice noise reduction and processing features, worth checking out!

Tony, thanks for the information. :scratch: I'm not sure I'm much further along with understanding what it does, but I've downloaded image analyser and will see what effects the various filters have.

I usually like to try the following on lunar and planetary images:-

Select an image file in Image Analyser

Choose Filters/Restoration by deconvolution

Choose Model - Motion blur

click on 'Guess' for both Vertical and Horizontal

Do iteration

...if you don't like it..just Reset

...I'm usually pleasantly surprised!

Thanks again Tony

Well a Very Big THANK YOU to all of you they are great.

I am impressed :shock: :shock:

Bernie.

I think my preference is the Noiseware only processing.

The original image was good though to be honest.
