Joe you could try this one too. It's by Bert Katzung. He posted it one day to the list and I tried it and it works great!

Geoff, Bobby and Matt,

 Thanks for all the suggestions to improve my Veil image. I tried using Matt's Star Shaping procedure. I uploaded the

new version to my web page, if you move the mouse over the image and select it you can see the before star shaping image to compare my results.

Matt,

   Thanks for the step by step instruction. I intend to go back and redo this image using your instruction but first I need

to understand some of the steps. This may take me a few days to figure out.

 In your Star shaping paper you use the Lasso tool to subtract non stellar selection. The problem I have is that the Lasso tool removes

all the stars and not just the non stellar object I selected. Do you have any suggestion on what I could be doing wrong?

 

Thanks, Joe.
