M13 Reprocessed in IRIS
19:40 24/8/2004 UTC
It's raining outside, so I decided to learn IRIS. IRIS seems to be very powerful image processing application, but it has a bit difficult user interface (gets better when one gets used to it). This reprocessed image is a green channel only median average of three nine image stacks. The result was then digitally developed (DDP) and binned 2x2. I am quite happy about its capabilities and its price! Compared to the last version, this image has a little more FOV.
