Hiya, still caught! I did not have flat frames, so I will use healing brush. Yah I did 1 run of Xterminator only in the above pic. Its a radial graident in the full pic. but I think it's ok, this pic the S/N is so low, not really worth improving it by more processing. Next time I try to take higher S/N pics then process more carefully. This pic posterises easily due to low S/N. hehehe.

nothing escapes mac displays i guess, like all my pictures too! :(

i wish i could avoid flat framing too, it takes additional time in a typical session, but to excel in good images, there is no free lunch. take it or leave it (as u said!).

Luckily this donut has no stars so I still can use healing brush. If there are stars, I must do flat fielding. No no, I will first remove dust from the sensor and coma corrector first.

Hehe. Can't wait to see what ATIK and VC 200L can do!
