M 16 reprocessed from the ground up.

[Alchemy]

from previous efforts posted it was suggested it could be done a bit better,
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=34261 so i have reworked the data...... i think its better now, after 5-6 hrs at the computer i hope so. im sure you will let me know where it needs to go from here, after very litttle imaging for the best part of 3 months ive gotten out of touch, so thanks for the prompt to do it again.

cheers clive

whew...... glad its got the pass certificate. i must admit i should have done better the first time around, due to crunchy stars i gave up on deconvolution, have returned to use it again, but tried a few things to improve the stars, found carbonis plug in usefull as i had not really used it before. it seems to have worked.
i am working on M17 at the moment so hopefully soon it will be done. also have an m20 on the go but its giving me a certain amount of grief trying to get it just the way i want. thanks for your input, and your honest opinions.

cheers clive
