m81 again...reprocessed...

ok , i decided I wasn't so proud of the first colorized image after all, so I redid it. I think this one's better (i'm still new to color imaging). I need some more practice; I had to blur the color image a good bit due to pretty high noise and the blurred colors showed through on the final; but it's better than it looked without the blur

Attached Image:

Nice, very nice. Good detail in the dust lanes and outer regions of the core. The color seems a bit blue to me and the background looks clipped. Lighten up the background to try to bring out more faint detail but that might not bring out much if it is clipped severely. Give it a try one the originals to see what comes up.
