Description

See my previous M81/82 image for details. I took that image and focused on the IFN, trying to bring out as much structure in it as possible. Starting from combination of all stacks (RGB HA L), and blocking out the bright galaxies, I removed the stars and went to work. Very poor signal/noise--no surprise! But after some new approaches in Matlab and PI, here's the result.

An unexpected amount of detail is revealed...very encouraging!
