  Contrast enhanced black-and-white image of the same region (probably one of the

  plates used to make the color image). The extreme richness in detail was obtained

  by the Unsharp Masking method invented by David Malin of the AAO. The

  effective contrast enhancement which can be obtained by this method is obvious.

  For technical info on unsharp masking, look at David Malin’s webpage on

  special photographic techniques.
