[AZ-Observing] Re: Holmes 17P Comet Images

     The main problem is being able to record and display the
very large dynamic range present between the nucleus region and
even the main outer coma.  Easy for your eye, but not for 
paper or screen display without compressing the dynamic range
considerably....and doing that without screwing up the gradients
in the scene.  I've seen some over-masked/over-sharpened/over-whatever
images posted in the last two days where simply too much processing
has been applied.  Artistically "interesting" but not a faithful
rendering of the event.
