A reprocessed IC1318, Butterfly Nebula in Cygnus

[Fay]

This was done 010708, processing was not too good, I did not know too much about it then. So I redid it today & it looks a lot better.
Modified Canon 350D/ ED80/ 7x600 secs, flats, no darks

[Mac]

love the detail.

[Fay]

thanks a lot Mac

[The Thing]

It's got excellent contrast considering there are no darks. Love the finger of darkness. When are you going to write "Fay's guide to reprocessing your old subs"?

[JohnP]

Fay - you can't post a reprocessed shot without showing us the original or giving us the link please......

[Fay]

Oh I will sort it out

[RobertM]

I remember the original (I think!) and this reprocess looks very good.

Have you got time to do some of my old subs ?

[JohnP]

I found it I think.....

Reprocess looks a lot smoother & you managed to get rid of the field rotation or whatever it was top right... Nice job

[Fay]

Yes, that's it John, thanks. I have a habit of deleting a lot of old one's I don't like

[Daniel]

Lovely re-process Fay, the stars are much more under control and it's now a lot less noisy too, gotta love those dark lanes!!!
