Re: [APML] M51 RGB (only)

Tony,

> The reason that an "L" is still a good thing is because the filters along with
the IR blocking filters cut back on the light immensely that the CCD is
sensitive to, so the amazing depth that one can get through the "clear" mode
is nowhere to be seen... as Rob put it, a CCD in color mode isn't much more
sensitive than film!

This sounds a little weird to me. Is the real problem that you need to run
the RGB exposures longer? I vaguely remember that Rob may have conceded this
point in the past.
