[APML] Ursa Major Photo on-line

[Roland Roberts <roland@astrofoto.org>]

I finally got last months shot of Ursa Major online at
http://www.astrofoto.org/constellations/uma.html.  This was taken with
Elite Chrome ISO 200.  The TP shot taken as the same time was trashed
when I botched the development.  FWIW, I scanned the slide with an
Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner and am reasonably pleased with the
results.  The focus of the scanner is not ideal; I'm certain a
dedicated slide scanner would do better.  But with a little unsharp
masking and some processing with AIP4WIN followed with some additional
work in the GIMP, I'm happy with the results.  I used Kodak's service
at http://www.ofoto.com/ to print an 8x10 which looks pretty good,
even if you can see a little bit of coma in the corners.
