Thanks Guys,
Scott,
I think the masking using the K channel helped bring out the galaxy from the back ground. It wasn't easy, as the background was very noisy initially. Not enough exposure I suspect. I was hoping for a little more detail in the core of the galaxy, but my tracking problems have smuged it a little too much.
hOughy,
From early in the processing I was convinced that it is indeed a galaxy in the background, but I can't confirm.
Rocket Boy,
You are right, 2.5 is the current version. The correct title is ImagesPlus 2.75 beta 4a.
I might have another go at processing this one. Got a couple of things I want to try.
Cheers
