Re: [APML] My most recent M101 processed by Bradley Hope

Thanks, but the credit goes to the photographer...can't bring something out
that isn't there. Actually only took about an hour, or there abouts, for
'that' image, once I gave up trying to find a better/different way of doing
it. And yes, I would very much appreciate any feedback on how I could
improve..and I really appreciate Alan giving me a shot at it. Really made me
work at it because of the strong color bias in the original. I learned a
lot, but still a long way to go before I can think of myself as being
half-way decent at processing.

Clear, dark and steady skies
