NGC 1532 and 1532

Post by Russ.Carpenter »

I’m steadily getting better at using StarTools, although there is a lot more to learn!

Here is a example of the power of this program. I’ll start with an image of the interacting galaxies NGC 1531 and NGC 1532. This image was processed by the professionals at the Gemini Observatories and was the APOD for March 1, 2005.

And here is the image produced by StarTools, from the same Gemini data. I’m sure that seasoned users of StarTools could do better, but even my version seems remarkably better.
