Noel, I don't even have to look to know you improved the image, but I did and I like the blacker blacks among the other things noted.
I am guessing that you started with their altered image and not the RAW data for that second one. I think that puts you at a disadvantage since you can only correct their image and not make your own.
I would like to know how you were brought to their attention (I assume your moonshot floored them, but ..I would like to hear the story) and how you were approached. Who would have thought that splurging for a new scope would set your life off on this tangent.

They'd be crazy not to hire you.
Quick question: What's the story behind how the ESO folk asked you to demonstrate for them? Did they find your moon shot and say, "Hey, this guy should work with us!" |

I asked them if they needed any help, and I sent some links to images I have already processed. You never know until you ask.

said by NoelC :My understanding is that many of the intermittent hot pixels are the result of cosmic rays impacting the imager. We have all this wonderful atmosphere protecting us down here on the Earth's surface from most of that. -Noel Nottomention it constantly alternating between hot as hell and subarctic deep freeze... it far to low to be in a statioanry orbit... nor would you want it to be...in a target choice sense.
