First time I think I have an image worth deconvoluting. Decent amount of exposure and I think the stars look good and round (I was having some problems with sensor tilt earlier). This is the linear image after PCC and automatic background extraction (there is some annoying green in the corner, not sure where that is coming from, but wanted to crop at last step):
PSF:
Star mask (made with MaskGen):
I remember a talk from Adam Block a while ago (AIC in the before times) where he tried to demystify deconvolution a bit and he talked about how you should be really looking to see if the stars are getting smaller. The only way I get that to happen on my image is if I turn off deringing using just the star mask to protect the the star centers (global dark=0.008., default wavelet regularization settings).
Can anyone help provide some direction on how tell if the deconvolution is doing what it is supposed to?
