Re: M47 (Open star cluster) & M42 (Final revision)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50950046013_fa48b25432_c.jpg Hi Brian, This is my third iteration which now shows more depth and color. I use levels, curves and saturation in PhotoShop. No noise reduction nor sharpening was used. The image is slightly cropped and is similar to the M13 you attac...

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50946660631_95662d4b2e_z.jpg Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply and do appreciate your input. Above is a redo of the same data taken at the same time but with different processing. I increased the image size to 300% to blend in the pixels in PhotoShop and the Black p...

ROI changes size and position when using the Brain.
Hi Robin, When using the Brain, and I apply the (ROI) regain of interest square away from stars and nebulosity as instructed, for some unknown reason the square converts to a tiny square relocated at the very corner and may move to the other corner while the Brain is processing. Is this normal?

Re: ORION NEBULA: double the frames to 2,000 at 1.5 sec exposure = greater detail
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50918042418_3c66bd971f_z.jpg Hi Tim, Thanks for sharing your image of M42. I have made simple changes to the original image to get rid of most of the green. I agree it was bothering me too. Processing an image is not a science but an art. I have seen the many ima...

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50914295653_613d110306_z.jpg Hi Tim, Thanks for your comments. This is the same photo as one above but more detail is brought out through additional processing. I still feel it still needs further refinement which requires much more time in the learning process. ...

ORION NEBULA-the difference is in processing. Which one do you prefer?
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50898637327_b5c1cfd1b4_z.jpg Orion Nebula, using the same data as the previous one posted two days ago (17 minutes of exposure) and then I reprocessed it for a second time in PhotoShop. It appears to me the photo degrades somewhat when it is converted from a fits...
