Some new data for my eagle

Posted By Gianluca Valentini

Hello guys,

following Enrico's advice, I tried to increase contrast in the area of the Pillars.

Attached is a crop of that area: I've tried my best with curves but I'm afraid it isn't good enough: any suggestion?

Feel free to try, even though it won't be easy with a jpeg sad

A is BEFORE and B is AFTER the cure wink

Some new data for my eagle

Posted By Gianluca Valentini

Any idea on how to deliver the original RAW tif file to anyone who'd like to try to process the whole thing?
My website isn't ready yet and, anyhow, I cannot access it from home (I forgot the password :C ) so I can't post it there!

I'd be very very curious to see what I'll be able to do one day with my data wink

Some new data for my eagle

Posted By Gianluca Valentini

Hello everyone!

I found a way to hack into my website grin I posted the RAW TIFF file for anyone who would like to try to process my data. Alas the FIT file was way too large, but if necessary it could be arranged wink

So anyone who would like the file to give it a try, here' the link:
http://www.amun-ra.org/noaa.asp?type=HA&NOAA=M16

The website is still a work in progress, so there's nothing to see...for now: sorry!

Ciao all

Hi Enrico. Suggestions I have none, but I do have a comment: I really like it. Especially the color of your stars and how well defined it is and the detail of the core, always a major pain in the neck to bring out. So, overall, great comeback mate!
