Default ASTRO: M45 lighter background any better? - M45_lighter_background.jpg

Robert,

I prefer this version. In the other one the background looked like it was
cut off. In the main german astro-board the general consensus is that the
background of a picture should be about 20 counts when converted to a 24 bit
JPEG. Some like it a bit brighter, some a bit darker, also depending on the
object of course. Your picture now has a background brightness of 21, so I'd
say you got it spot on. Very nice picture.

Stefan
