[APML] autumn milky way

[Wei-Hao Wang <whwang@gmail.com>]

Hi everone,

It has been a few months since last time I took pictures.  I just realized 
that I still have a picture from this summer not being scanned.  I scanned
it and did a quick process.  Here it goes:

The vignetting pattrern removal is a combined effort in PixInsight and 
PhotoShop.  The background model was generated in PixInsight and then
subtracted from the original image in PhotoShop.  The most challenging
task in the image processing is curve stretching.  E100S has very high
S/N and a dynamical range far exceeding my monitor's capability.  I 
cannot figure out a perfect way to demonstrate the depth on the slides
and in the 16bit image.  Perhaps I just didn't try hard enough.

I don't think this is a flawless image.  Hope I will have time to reprocess
this image soon.  Any comments are welcome.

ALOHA,

Wei-Hao
