Re: [APML] New image: The Crescent Nebula

["westergren" <westergren@netzero.net>]

Juan,

Your rendition of the Crescent is impressive.  I love it!  Your new software
sure seems to do a great job.  Are you ready to start fielding questions
about PixInsight?  Like, when and how it will be available to the masses?
Does the wavelet technology require stacking of  4 or more individual
pictures? Does it support processing in 16 bit mode?  Will it be integrated
with SGBNR or remain separate?

You have caught my attention, and probably a lot of other APMLer's as well.

Thanks,
Don
