Here is a project I have thought about over many years. What can I do with all scientific data that are out there?
I tested this already 15 years ago with the POSS-I data from Mount Palomar observatory with good results.
Now I'm just practising this how to handle the data and get something out of it. One easy task is just to make pictures from the data and compare it with my own photos. Just to get an idea how much worse my photos are compare to the telescopes at Mount Palomar.
Here you can see how I have processed the first two Messier objects, M1 and M13:

Even more exiting is if I'm in the future can do some science with it.
I have many cloudy nights so I'm desperate!
