Beyond_Vision Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Whilst waiting for the Moon to wane I decided to have another bash at processing my M31 Data from the ground up. I restacked 4 hours and 20 minutes worth of 5 minute subs and finished it up with Pix-Insight version 1.5 (DBE, HDR and ACNR tools) and Photoshop. After going through several loops here's Andromeda in all it's glory.Im looking forward to getting more data this season to smooth out the dim outer areas.previous edit below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinB Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The data is great Kevin and I loved your previous version but to my eyes this one just looks pushed a bit too far. The dust lanes look as if they have had a fair bit of sharpening and don't really have that dirty dusty look any more. This is nit picking of the highest order Kevin because it is obviously a fantastic image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
