hi guys,

I had to do something else than moon imaging these days,...so I reprocessed the image of ngc 4449.
I had picked up some color artefacts, which I hadn`t noticed in the first olace around the bright stars.
this came from using "color range" when working on the colors of the galcxy, without realizing that the stars were "touched" also...

so here we are.
let me remind You of the data on the image first:

NGC 4449

Dietmar, amazing how much time is involved on this image... not just taking it, but also in the processing...
Thanks for the hard work, and for sharing... it sure is a beautiful & colorful galaxy! 8)
