RE: [APML] Andromeda

["Scott Hammonds" <shammonds@creatorsview.com>]

Jim, Bobby, Chris,
Thank you all for the comments and constructive criticism. I really wish
I had taken another shot of this target. This was the very first image I
took with the Tak 150 and I wasn't sure about the focus when I shot. It
was a very different look from my small 4" refractor. When I saw the
negative and realized I couldn't get the whole thing in the 35mm field
of view I stupidly said, "I won't waste my time shooting that again". I
guess I'll just have to go back to NMS next year and re-shoot. <g> I did
get 2 of M33.

I'm working on a few corrections and will repost when I get them
finished.
Thanks again, 

Scott Hammonds

Scott, a super image, full of rich detail and dust lanes.

I've been playing with this image off and on for at least a week now.
It's
time to get a second opinion.
There may be more there, but I'm always afraid of over doing it. Maybe I
have any way.

This was processed using levels and curves. I then applied SGBNR very
lightly and finally made some slight color adjustments.
Once again, I only took one frame of this target. I didn't like what the
negative looked like and decided not to shoot M31 again with the
Takahashi,
now I think it was a mistake.

Comments are welcome, good and bad.
Thanks,
Scott Hammonds
