Description

This is an experimental image constructed from luminance and red images separated from

original fits images in CCD Ops. It was colored using H alpha false color in Carboni.s Astro

tools. I was experimenting with various methods to reduce the FWHM value which so far have

been inconclusive. The value in this example is around 5.2 . Even using the Batinov Grabber

in APT does not improve it much. Any thoughts??
