That's really cool, Kurt! However astronomers can tease info out of data, that's fine by me.

(SLAS Maui imaging session) I'm not ending up with anything useable by trying to incorporate more filter layers in an image than others, I've decided to bag this project. However, I did generate a more "sciency" schematic from the Faulkes session imagery that illustrates the structural elements of the Crab Nebula seen in Tyler's image. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2959 The main structural elements are: 1) the central synchrontron 2) the inner filament shell 3) the connecting filaments to the outershell 4) the outer shell 5) the outer halo. At least I now understand how to run Gimp and have a much better feel for how Photoshop works.
