the amount of blurring applied to the image. Increasing the radius increases the amount of blur applied.

For best results, turn on the Auto Full Screen preview button, and adjust the settings. This allows you to rapidly adjust the settings until you are satis- fied with the results. Then, click OK to actually apply the filter settings to the image.

It is best to use a light touch with this command, to avoid over-processing the image. Over-processing can create artifacts; i.e. features in the image that are not real. It also amplifies the noise in the image.

Color Balance

The sensitivity of most CCD cameras as a function of wavelength (color) is dif- ferent from the response of the human eye. The filters used for creating color composites also have their own characteristics, as do the telescope optics. Although “perfect” color rendition is an elusive if not impossible goal (all indi- viduals see colors slightly differently), it is straightforward to get “good” color balance with simple weightings. This is where the Color Balance command (in the Process menu, Figure 19) comes in handy to touch up the resultant colors in your images. Use the Preview Image to see how altering these parameters will affect your image (or click the Full Screen button to see the changes applied to your full image).

Color images from CCD cameras typically require a background level adjust- ment. This is accomplished by bringing the background level (or bias) in each color plane down to zero. Each of the Background Level values is subtracted from every image pixel in its color plane. Any pixel values that become nega- tive are forced to zero. The Auto button automatically determines the settings
