Figure 12: [ ISOCONT, iso_struct_raster, 'm51_dss.fits', MAGNIFY=4. ] Display a color image of iso_struct_raster, with contour levels of m51_dss.fits (high resolution image). If the MAGNIFY keyword is not used, then the resolution of the high resolution image is decreased in order to match that of the first image. Using the MAGNIFY=4 option the color image is rebined with an expansion factor of 4 (using nearest neighbor values) in order to virtually improve its resolution and make the superimposed contours look smoother. Another possibility is to select the second image as the astrometric reference, using the REF keyword (see Fig 11).
