Subject: NGC 4565 Gradient removal

Hi Folks;

I've been reprocessing a bunch of DSO images to test out the new Gradient removal code, and also improve them. 

As an example, here is my original version of NGC 4565:

Because of the gradient, I lowered the background to hide it, which darkens everything out.

Here is the new version which has gradient removal applied:

Because this suppressed the gradient to minimal amounts, I could stretch the image a lot further.

I'll be posting Astro IIDC 4.06.00 A7 tomorrow.

TTYL..
