Re: [APML] 7331 (again!)



Tony,
Really extraordinary effort and great widefield image.
Not quite CCD though. I think with the dimmer detail
CCD still outperforms. Again here is my CCD version
of ngc7331 for comparison.

exposures of 7331 (great test object) and recorded a LOT more than the
previous negatives. Tracking was very good, as was the focus this time. I
"polluted" these better negatives with the original Picture Window result
and came up with a new image and a close up.. you can see H II regions and
galaxies everywhere... in the close up, the companion galaxy to the upper
left even has two faint H II regions showing. As the signal to noise ratio
is increased through PW more detail and color is showing up... almost CCD!
