I've been reprocessing old images during the recent bad weather.
Attached is a mid-sized image of NGC 7331 from last year.

Dan,
Nice Image. I like the color you got overall in the field - particularly the fainter stars. I seem to loose color to a neutral gray/white on fainter stars. I know my process tends to do this since I clip low intensity color because I want to eliminate color artifacts.

So what made you want to reprocess (other than those pesky clouds)? Did you apply some new techniques?

Beautiful image Dan. I really like the larger version on the website, and the identifiers are really great as well. That mouse-over stuff really makes the website interesting. Nicely done and thanks for sharing.
