  Well, go ahead and put the M31 up for everybody.  I might play around with
it, but I'm definately not promising I'd post the result.  And I'm not
really looking forward to a few hours work on it.  I think the last one
caught me because somehow it looked good (and easy).  BTW, I attempted your
AV a few months ago.  I was very impressed with the process however
Photoshop LE let me down at something like the last two steps.  I've always
had sort of a boomerang relation to this hobby, I've been off into the
facinating world of car stereo (of all things), then came the digicam (major
fun obsession).  Heck, can you believe I still haven't processed and stacked
my Leonids from 2001 yet!  A figured a stack of seven with re-scanning
needed, processing, and PW, then looked for something different to do for a
year!
