With rain, rain, rain and clouds, clouds, clouds the past few weeks I've resorted to playing with old images in PixInsight from Pleiades-astrophoto. If you haven't downloaded the software (a free LE version and a free time-limited Beta Standard version with limited capabilities so far), I recommend checking it out. It has amazingly precise histogram and curves controls, plus excellent tutorials on how to use the other capabilities. It sure is helping me get more detail out of objects without blowing out the highlights that I've struggled with in other software. Here is a reworked Markarian's Chain image (95x60s). I'll repost the original image posted a while ago in the next message. I thought this one made for a good test.
Just thought I'd bring this up in case you haven't played with it yet.
Have fun,
Larry
PS: This is a jpeg of a jpeg since I didn't have immediate access to my original FITS files.
