FITS Liberator image: FITS Liberator meets NGC 7662

Enclosed is an image I processed with Photoshop CS and MaxIm DL software. The FITS Liberator in Photoshop was used to perform a linear stretch. Next, a two star alignment was used to RGB combined the images in MaxIm DL (R = 658 nm , G =555 nm and Blue = 502 nm).  After the color balance was completed, the image was converted to a TIFF format. In order to bring out the dim details, the imaged was imported into Photoshop to adjust the levels and curves.  Finally, a small amount of sharpening was applied to the red and green channels to clean it up.
