Re-processed Image: M31 Andromeda galaxy

#1

Post by avdhoeven »

M31, the Andromeda galaxy. This recording is already 9 years old, but I have completely reprocessed it using, among other things, drizzling in APP and deconvolution with blurxterminator. This clearly shows how it really makes sense to keep old data and revisit it every now and then. The comparison clearly shows the difference between the old and the new processing.
