This is a reprocess of the image I posted ealier.

When I first processed this image I noticed that the disk was dull with the very bright ring. I thought this might be due to my low transparency or there was something wrong with my settings. I compensated this by increasing saturation and adjusting curves.

Little did I know that this was the opposition effect called Seeliger Effect. David Tyler pointed this out to me. THANKS DAVID!!

So I went back and reprocessed my image to show this effect! Phase angle of this image is .08deg!

Regards,

Chris
