Re: [APML] Experimenting with diffusion filters




Chris,
     What brand / model diffuser filter did you pick up?  I'm looking for
nearly the same feel of your shots for doing the winter constellations, and
I'm close to ordering one.

--thanks

This past new moon period, I decided to try imaging with a diffusion
filter.
After seeing Marco's great Southern Cross shot back in mid July, I wanted
to
see what I could get.
My two targets were Lyra and the M31 region.  I used 105mm and 50mm Nikkors
stopped down to f/4 and Provia 400F pushed +1.

Lyra:

M31 Region:

My results are encouraging as the star colors are quite accentuated.  I'm
looking forward to trying this again next DOM.

Comments welcome.

Chris
