Description

New processing technique. I wasn't sure about this one until I searched the archives and indeed found faint dust clouds surrounding the Rosette. So it seems real, and other companion images from the same night show no gross artifacts. But I was skeptical at first.

At any rate, with the field stars reduced in lightness relative to the nebulosity, this image appears to be my most detailed yet.

This image actually has no additional chrominance or luminance stretching beyond the normal initial contrast stretch provided by the STF.

-------------

um... learn how to use DBE.

Vicent shows me how to erode those overwhelming field stars without leaving a trace of artifacts. You would be proud to show this kind of image to your mother at full 1:1 zoom !!
