hi guys,
i find myself doing a lot of head scratching when processing images and my routine seems to be more a 'make it up as you go along' kinda thing so i thought id share my M42 data to see what some of you come up with
http://users.on.net/~monox/M42f.jpg - this was my best effort but i failed badly at masking the core and gave up.
the data seems pretty good so i wonder what some of the processing gurus can come up with?
anyway heres a calibrated TIFF file for you to have a play with.
its ~100 mins through the Tak (no uhc filter)
http://users.on.net/~monox/M42.rar (17mb flat/bias calibrated no darks)
