Hi all,

I wanted to process one of my DMK streams from the other night to compare to the image posted previously with the Scorpion camera binned to 9 micron pixels. The results were very similar:

Working the data, the results were very similar. What is improved in this image, I think, is the processing... with help to my aging eyes from a good external monitor. I used too heavy a hand on the first image - pushed it beyond what the seeing could support in terms of albedo details. This one is quite a bit more natural and accurate, I think. 

hope you enjoy it!

best,

Alan
