    I recently took some images of The Pleaides. The image had terrible blooms
    that were mighty difficult to remove. I reprocessed it today using a debloom
    filter and am just amazed at the difference. I think some of you may find
    this interesting so I am posting some links to the images.

    You can see the difference in the bloomed and debloomed blue component image

    Or the finished RGB image at:

    I made a "regular" processing and a "pushed" processing which are included
    on the page above. David Malin's APOD image gave me the idea to push it a
    bit harder than I normally would have. I included a link on the page to
    Malin's awesome shot for reference.

    Please take comments offline,
