Re: [APML] New Image: IC1396 @ 400mm

["Glenn Ray" <glennlray@mail.ev1.net>]

Yes; I shot that @ f/5.6 (full aperture).  That's one of the best deals I've ever gotten...bought it "new" on Ebay for $325.

I did crop the image some, but there wasn't much vignetting or coma at all.  I'll definitely shoot IC1396 again, but this time either with Supra400 or for at least 90-120 minutes.
