Title: M31 Re-Process

Original image taken 17.9.2010
I keep looking at this and thinking how awful it is, so had a go at re-processing it.

Original process

Reprocess a few days ago, N.B. I hadn't learnt how to do my flats properly at that stage, but I think this is better if fainter.

I think it looks a lot better even if it's a bit fainter.

A bit less er brutal than the original  :)

Yes, that's what I was thinking Mick - well over processed.
Can't do anything about the original subs, but can improve the processing.
