Here is my LRGB image of NGC 3628:
http://home.att.net/~dpersyk/new.htm
50 minute lum and 20 minute each RGB; True Technology Filters; SXV-H9 and Takahashi E160 guided by MX716 on NP-101.
It is actually a crop from my previous Leo Trio image. I discovered that there was a lot of detail lurking beneath the unprocessed region of the dust lane which I deftly coaxed out with the new (Beta 11) version of ImagesPlus. It has an Adaptive Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm. One simply defines an intensity window encompassing the region of interest and/or color layer. This is much easier to use and affords more control than PhotoShop’s lasso and layers – at least with my limited understanding of PS.
I’ve never had an image before with this much detail in the dust lane so I’m unsure of what it should look like. I may have over processed it a bit – if so, it is not the fault of ImagesPlus, but rather my judgment. Comments on the image and processing are most welcome.
Thank you for visiting my site.
