Hi Patrick,
However, it occured to me that I had shot M-51 before so I looked through the pictures on my web page and found one from 27 April 2000.
Did you "stretch" this 27 April 2000 image using the same processing steps that you used to reveal the SN on your more recent image?
Not to the same extent. But then manipulating the image wasn't really necessary to see the SN. Stretched or not it was visible, just more visible when stretched. However, just to be sure, (and if I remember to do it) I plan on shooting similar pictures in future. BTW, this morning's issue of News (went out about 5 minutes ago) carries a link to before and after pictures of M-51 and the SN. Patrick
