RE: [APML] New result of my Veil Nebula image



Volker, interesting effect.  However, the second image is far more cranked
up that the first one, and the comparison is difficult.  I tried this method
on my schmidt shots and it does allow you to boost the contrast more without
making for a star dominated image.  Thanks for sharing this interesting
tecnique.

O.k., Chris, I will see in the future. I have not the experience so far.
Here is another example, where I used the process:
