Steve
Herman took some pictures through his telescope. Here is one of
them, progressively enhanced to show detail, using various
rendering options in HEASARC's FV software. Steve's original
image (top, left) was M33 - he might not recognize some of these
other images as his. His original CCD image of M33 was taken
with an ST 7E on a 78mm Takahashi F8.1. It is a
combination of 21 5-minute images combined after being
dark-subtracted. No other processing had been done. No flat
field, no hot and cold pixel removal - nothing. And look
what we did to it!
