Re: [APML] Horse Head and Flame Nebula

Hi Andy:
That's a very nice shot of the Horsehead and Flame! As far as processing is
concerned, I think your color is great (although my take on color is not
always very accurate). The red nebulosity looks a bit grainy and could
probably benefit from more smoothing (did you do any?) with either bigsmooth
or SGBNR (both freeware, URL's on my website). The stars seem to have fuzzy
halos --- was there mist or could it be due to the processing? Overall,
however, an excellent image!
