Choices, choices, choices (in imaging processing)
One of the wonderful problems that has become more apparent with digital imaging with modern optics is high quality images with lots of stars. Back the dark(room) ages with film, it seemed that most images didn’t really pick up that many of the fainter stars. I can make up some really smart sounding reason for …
