Well done Robbie. Something happened during saving for the web though?

How do you normally do that?

[Robbie]

:shrug: umm how do I normally do what?? it's the first time Ive posted a pic so what is wrong or right with the post?
the pic is viewable isnt it?

[iceman]

Oh yeh the pic viewing is fine, but there's some artifacts where teh colour meets the black - like there's too much compression when you saved it for jpeg.

What program do you use for resizing and saving it for the web?

[Robbie]

ohyeah I see that Its basically straight out of maxim dl straight conversion from fits to jpeg then downloaded
my original seems ok but I'll work on it and repost it.
I was happiest with the nucleus, coma and colour but it does warrant more processing attention.
