Re: [APML] M63 B&W

Tony,

Here's some colour data for you.. <g>  http://www.astrocruise.com/m63.htm

Coincidentally I made this shot about a month ago from Wiltshire.  I went 
through a lot of experimentation on deconvolution and DDP on this image 
hence I have only recently posted this update.  I did not previously post 
the image link on APML because the processes have no relevance to film 
imaging, as far as I can see.

I am just in the process of completing an article on the DDP and 
deconvolution technique that finally worked for this image.  As soon as 
complete I will post the link on the SBIG and AstroV lists, so that those 
who have an interest can see it there on the relevant forums.

Thanks
--Philip
