share it here as well.

Re: ETX-60 novice

Excellent result You may like to try 'channel splitting' via Photoshop or PaintshopPro etc in mono RGB - the R or G channel is usually sharper that the blue channel which tend to soften full colour images somewhat

Re: ETX-60 novice

Thanks for the nice replies, and RGB tip. I did a histogram adjust with PSP
and lowered the color levels. But I didn't think of the split.
So many stars, so little time. I'm trying to get up the courage to throw
a WMV / AVI of this scene at Registack but have never used it yet.
I don't know if Registack accepts AVI's, or how to select certain "frames".

I'll jump in before winter gets here. Thanks again.
