[APML] Back to a film image-Rho Ophiuchus

[John Laborde <jlaborde@ix.netcom.com>]

Here is an image or rather two images in a two frame mosaic of Rho 
Ophiuchus area I took last year. I didn't take it very far in the 
processing except to scan the film. The scanned images were quit noisy 
and the film had a ton of dust bunnies and hairs from poor handling at 
the film lab. I was just going to scrap these shots Since then I have 
learned a lot about noise control and image processing in general so I 
decided just a few days ago to complete the processing started a year ago.

The image is a mosaic of 2 120- E200 pushed 1 stop, scanned at 4000 dpi 
on a PrintScan 120. All processing was done in Photoshop CS and passed 
through the demo version of  Noise Ninja for noise reduction.

Just a side note, I think Noise Ninja works much better that Neat Image 
which I have been using for about a year.

Here's the image.
