Re: [APML] IC1396 with Pentax 67 300mm EDIF F/4.0

Hi Wade,

That's really well framed - you positioned it perfectly to pick up all 
the little nebulae west of IC1396. It must be hard to tell where you are 
pointing the camera, since there are so few bright stars and so many 
faint stars in this area!

Another great 6x7 image...
