Helix nebula, NGC 7293 -- via Spitzer
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Q ... directlink <--- Link to 4 MB hires version
Copyright: NASA/JPL/Spitzer team , All processing from raw FITS datasets by me: Rolf Karlstad
After seeing the 'teal' version of this image, I dipped back into using Spot/Leopard when I was in Iraq back in 2010. Somehow being deployed gets me interested in processing images, and I started looking at this image again recently. I, quite immodestly, like what I did here, quite a bit!
In order to avoid what I considered to be a largely monochromatic (yet, somehow, teal...) image, I flipped the script a little, representing long --> short wavelengths of Infrared with blue --> red, other than the 24 micron image, which I left as red. The baleful eye just didn't look right in any other shade. This 'odd' (?) choice of color assignment made the background look 'realistic', and yet showed a decent (wild, in comparison) amount of color variation in the background stars and galaxies.
Hope you like it -- please, please follow the link and download the full image from the link. It's worth it! Check the color detail in the 'comet' fragments. This version specifically optimized for 800x resolution, it looks pretty decent. Full version is roughly 3000x2000 and includes a little more on the right hand side and slightly less on the top relative to the original image, which was posted by JPL back in ~ 2007. Enjoy! All mosaic creation (with the tiny Spitzer images, this was Quite a Bit) and other processing done by me using the wonderful IRIS freeware image processing software. Check it out.

Pol with Holy Mary from Corsica

During the summerholidays we visited Corsica by car. This island is a paradise with his mountains and nature. I saw this beautiful holy Mary on the top of Col de Bavella (1218m) and knew that’s the perfect environment for a polfoto. The sky was excellent dark and clear. It was a very mystical feeling!!!
Best regards from austria
