Jim Misti - m31

[Rkonrad]

My current best effort on Jim Misti's M31. Wish I could get data this good. Data available at http://www.mistisoftware.com/astronomy/index_fits.htm

My attempt - https://flic.kr/p/MEPHPr

Thanks for that posting.

I think making use of Jim's excellent data might help me improve my processing skills.

I have to say however, that I can't get anywhere near as good as your flickr image. Would it be possible to see your log file? I am clearly missing several tricks at the moment...

I will send you a video in the next few days - much better than a log file (can't find it anyway:). Thanks.

Look forward to it, Richard!

I found your other video very interesting too, never touched the Airy disk radius before so am off to experiment...

Here is the link to the video. https://youtu.be/PPoJ-lMwctA Hope it's helpful. As usual it isn't perfect but hopefully the processes are helpful.

Many thanks for that, Richard!

Most interesting - all sorts of things I've never tried there, off to experiment right now.
