M42 original the Neat Image processed

[batema (Mark)]

Hi,

After reading the thread on noise reduction I thought I would have a go on M42. I have used this program once before on the Sombrero galaxy but found that while it smoothed out the noise it also blurred the image. This is the same with my M42. I think the noise reduced looks great however does any one have advice on somehow sharpening the blurryness????

So far with we me using a Pentax k100d i've captured up to 100 minutes of data but compared to whats being shown here using a Canon mine is sh....t your images ain't too bad try Focus Magic to cut the blur
