Hi All,
Since I was pleased with the way the wide field image of M42 came out after processing with IRIS - I wanted to try the central core using the same program. I'm quite pleased with the result (I prefer it to my original processing) - Lots of nebulosity showing - It amazes me what you can achieve with such crummy seeing conditions...
I promise no more processing of these images - I think I've done about everything I can!
Cheers, John.
