What wonderful feedback guys!
Seems most like the 80ED data version?
The spread of opinions however just ran parallel with my own conflicts between the two
. I was tending toward the latest version too but couldn't help but be atracted to the more mystical look of the original.
Doug, your detailed analyisis was rather refreshing indeed, thankyou! The slight dark donuts you refer to, around the smallest stars in the 80ED data version, were not a result of unsharp mask though, instead they are from not matching star sizes perfectly between the 80ED image and the AP image.... not through the want of trying though but the result wasn't quite ferfect
. Luckily this effect is only noticable (to me) in the fainter stars of the 80ED version and as a result I deemed it "acceptable?"
.
Thanks again guys....
