I like them both Wade! The PI version is a little
red compared to the PS version, at least on my monitor. I like the PS
background color a little better.

Subject: [APML] Comet Machholz
1/31/2005
I have "completed" another one of my images of Comet
Machholz. The
vignetting associated with the Pentax 67 165 mm F/2.8
lens was
"easy" to remove, but very difficult to get an acceptable
image.
The first image was created using PixInsight LE. I like how
the
nebulas stand out a little better with this version; however,
the
comet is pretty weak. The second version I used Photoshop to
remove
the vignetting. I like the comet better; however, the nebulas
are
weaker. Is there a way to have both worlds? I'm just
learning the
art of removing vignetting in an image so I'm sure there are
better
techniques. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Which version do you like the best?
As you can tell, I'm
not completely satisfied with either. Perhaps,
a little more
experience with PixInsight LE will allow me to fine
tune the image (e.g.
perhaps my "FLAT" is not ideal). Nevertheless,
I'll continue my trek
towards perfecting my technique.
Here's the link:

You
can find a higher resolution shot by clicking on the
appropriate

Thanks,
Wade
