While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

This was done last year on the SBIG CCD list with M1- Crab Nebula. Images
were posted to a public directory where everyone could look and see how
their image compared to the others. There was no official 'winner', and
each image was supposed to be posted with all the pertinent image processing
steps listed. It was more of a comparison of technique opposed to a
contest, and neat to see if 'your' images could even come close to the
'expert' imagers versions. It was amazing how different the entries
looked. I never know there were that many ways to process the same object!

The current project is a collaboration on NGC 6888 - Crescent Nebula, to see
how many hours of exposures can be put together from multiple sources to get
the highest S/N ratio possible. Should be a cool experiment!

Subject: [M]: Image process challenge


Is there any interest in, or has there been in the past, an "image
processing challenge"? A friendly exercise where raw image files for an
astronomical subject (e.g. Mars) are made generally available for
downloading and processing. Resulting images are uploaded to a web site for
display. The best one is voted on, and the "winner" is required to detail
how they processed the image. In my own image processing, I have gone back
to old images, and with new insights, produced a better image. It would be
very interesting to see how different people would process the same data and
come up with a different final image. I have 60 images of Mars that could
be used (and an example of one possible final image can be found at:
http://wine1.sb.fsu.edu/observatory/photographs.htm)

If anyone is interested, please let me know.

thanks

Mike
