[APML] M33, my first combine

[Alan Voetsch <alanv12952@yahoo.com>]

Hey all,

OK. This is the one I practiced on when I tried the trial version of
RegiStar. That's why it hasn't taken long to get this one up. I haven't
figured out how to do 3 or more yet, but with 2 images it's pretty
easy. 

This is an 'average' of a 195 minute exp and a 95 minute exposure. The
longer one was given an '80' weight, the shorter a '20'. Helped quite a
bit as far as smoothing the noise and grain, which I assume are the
same. Tried various combs (60-40, etc..), this combo looked best to me.

Greatly look forward to any suggestions on how to improve my RegiStar
treatment. 

BTW, had to crop this to about half-frame because I was not thinking
ahead to this step when I took the shots on 2 different nights at OSP
last month. Can anyone say 'Bonehead'?
