If you can afford the scope, you can afford the cherry picker.

Thanks Seanie but credit also must be given to Dave!
We both went home with the same AVI's and each did our own processing
to see what we could come up with.
To be honest with you,
I actually think Dave's version looks better (the re-done image further down in this post)

www.irishastronomy.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=7663

I actually used the Hubble shot as a base to work from for the colour.
I don't think I'll do that again.
It's fine to use a shot like that to see detail but I did read somewhere
Nasa asked a bunch of amateurs like Peach et al for thier opinion
on the results THEY were getting!
So it just go's to show you again,
If you think it looks right then go with it.


Merry Christmas!

Well Frank, its all rather subjective really, it difficult to get the colour right, its a matter of what you like and what time in the early morning you process it. :)
