Description

This image was calibrated with SPCC using 'Average Spiral Galaxy' as the white reference.  Also check out the G2V Star white reference version and let me know the version you prefer (if any).

I am not sure I like the color of either version (sometimes I do, other times - meh!).  CC welcome.
