Plasma physics and the conceptual design of fusion reactors were my official job.
In the field of astronomy, I am just an amateur astrophotographer. I founded and

LRGB and Digital Development Processing
The now widely known LRGB method was developed by myself and Robert Dalby in 1996.
In agreement with Dalby, we named it "LRGB".
Digital Development Processing (DDP) is also a technique I developed myself in 1995.
The following materials were introduced at ITS-98 (Imaging The Sky 1998)
held in Salem, Oregon, USA in 1998.

The Lab color enphasis proposed by Takeshi Makita is also very important.
