Re: OK Nancy, Where Is It?


The Palomar 45 Minute CCD shows dim objects about twice as strong as the
Zeta Coordinates 20 Minute CCD, so one would assume that if SOMETHING
were within the red circle it should be twice as strong in the Palomar
as in the Zeta Coordinates CCD.  But the opposite is the case.  The
Palomar has nothing there, but the Zeta Coordinates has SOMETHING.

    Nancy,
    I took the original image, and made some simple photoshop 
    enhancements, that anybody can replicate if they want to.  
    All I did was change the:
      1) Brightness
      2) Contrast
      3) and Inverted colors
    I showed each step, on each picture, and you are dead 
    on correct! Check it out. I tried the same enhancements to 
    the Palomar sky scan taken decades earlier, and the pictures 
    resolution was as good, but the noise level of the granularity
    was too much for a direct comparison.

Which  I’ve on my web site at:

Note the dim objects in the Palomar 45 Minute CCD are SOMETHING in this
man’s product, which increased the contrast in the Zeta Coordinates 20
Minute CCD, and include no more or less than those Palomar dim objects
except for the additional SOMETHING, round in shape, at the spot the
Zetas identified!

So what is that SOMETHING?  Or does noise come in round shapes?
