Thanks for referencing my image on your Dec 26th PI TV episode

Jeff

Hello Adam,

It was my image of Cederblad 51 you show cased on your last Dec 26th PI TV episode.  I did not attend the session but someone on AstroBin sent me a private message to let me know. I appreciate your kind words.  I am a Horizon subscriber and got the technique from your lesson and not the previous PI TV episode.  To improve contrast I also used your MLT technique of increasing the bias of the higher layers.  The technique was already known me by Warren Keller's book but you really explained it well to where I actually understood how to apply it.  

After watching your GUM 15 videos,  I went back to my Cederblad 51 to see what Local Fuzzy Histogram Hyperbolization would do in place of the MLT bias technique and it really made a mess of my dark nebulae.  That is it posterized the dark nebulae no matter what settings I chose.   There was either a problem with my data or it only works on certain data perhaps with more signal. 

Your GUM 15 lessons also got me interested in Telescope Live.  I signed up for the Silver level trial and from a Pro data set was able to process the following image: https://astrob.in/52nu9r/0/

Last thing I wanted to mention is that I have been using PixInsight for about 6 years and both your PixInsight Fundamentals and Horizons lessons that I recently subscribed to have helped take my processing to the next level.  You can use that as a quote on your site if you like.  I was first a bit apprehensive about subscribing to your Fundamentals since I was already familiar with PI but I am glad I did.  You teach so much more than just how to use the tool and I learned something new in everyone of your fundamentals lessons. 

Thanks,

Jeff Lepp
