Description  | 
  ||||
Motto: Never give up. I took this data in December of 2007 and had tried to process it a couple times. I was never happy with it since I couldn't get any detail (not the small amount of Lum data in it). While I was AIC, I listened to some of the stuff Tony Hallas was saying and had this data on my laptop. So, I tried some of his techniques. Image came out reasonable well I think. Not perfect and I may try to get some more and better data but a reasonable version of M82 (and some new processing techniques)!  |
