So here is a lesson that you can only get in an image the data that is there.

I recently did a somewhat hasty image set of NGC 3184. I found this object somewhat dim for my F/8 set up. I thought I would post what I did get out of the data anyway. What turned out to be really weak was the color data. Image as well as exposure and processing data are at:

Hi Jim,
Beautiful image! I really love the way that you explain your processing in detail on your website. It Really helps out all us newbies! Gives me an idea of what I'm suppose to be doing and in what order. Thanks, Tom

Tom, Vince,
Thanks for the comments....

Some people fish for 30 lb fish with 12 lb test line. I try to get the most out of the equipment I can afford as well as afford to carry, So thanks for noticing and commenting.

And thanks for being kind on a limited image.
