Default ASTRO: M1 reprocessed

When I originally posted this AIM4Windows was used to process M1 and it
choked on the large file size the STL-11000 takes. I had to process it
blindly as the software wouldn't display the image. I'd save the image
as a TIFF, look at it in another program then make an adjustment and try
again. The result wasn't great but was better than when I took it on
film many years ago. Now that I have Photoshop I used a cloudy evening
to reprocess it when I could see what I was doing. The filaments came
out much cleaner and the color is far better. Now I need some H alpha
data to complete it.

14" LX200R@f/10, L=6x5' RGB=3x5' all binned 2x2, STL-11000M, Paramount ME

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

You have a good one there Rick... You have been capturing nice detail with
your system and processing.

Thanks
I have come a long ways since I started CCD work in April but have an
even longer one to go. Still I'm way ahead of my film days but my
equipment is a lot better too. Raising a family doesn't leave much
extra, time or money, for hobbies so had to put it off until retirement.

The cold has now screwed up collimation quite a bit but at -25F I don't
seem interested in going out and working with it. 40 years ago I'd have
been right there but not any more.
