Hello,

    After very careful processing here is the "real" version of NGC 7331
... the only reason that I am posting this on the APML is because ALL the
post reduction processing was done in PS. I discovered with very careful
processing that "detail" can very easily be created by sloppy processing (
my only excuse is that I did say the first one was "quick and dirty" ).

    I paid huge attention this time to S/N, artifacts that occur when
stretching an image (bands and rings that really aren't there ... these
occur at the boundary of a selection), and density / contrast parameters...

    Soooo ... this is about as clean as I can get it ... hope you like it.

   I know this is a film list but most of what went into this image was
done using film techniques in PS ... and you don't have to open the image
if you don't want to...

    Have a good one,

        Tony_______________________________________________
