I didn't realize this went to MathGroup as well so I'm replying to
the whole group this time. If you look at the Mathematica notebook,
and closely at the images, the processing was in the removal of dirt and
dust from the raw image frame. The first image shows little "cheerios"
resulting from this dust which is unfocused. The middle image shows
this dirt removed. The final frame shows the processed frame, but
zoomed in. You need to read the Mathematica notebook to get a better
idea of what's happening.
I do agree that this is minimal image processing in many people's eyes.
I have not done any stretching of the data values since the image
processing I did and still do from time to time is used for photometry.
I typically do photometry and you don't want to apply scaling to the
pixel values since you often want to compare them to other pixels in the
same field for comparison.
Your scaling and glare removal suggestion might make a pretty picture,
but the goal was to get the image ready for data extraction which means
scaling would be a bad idea.
In any case, I renamed the titles/captions to say "Astronomical Image
Reduction" which is definitely more appropriate.
Thanks for the suggestion,
