RE: [APML] Gamma-Cygnus taken with FSQ-106N

To all,

After updating the image per Chuck's suggestion, I noticed it was
still probably too Red.  Basically, this was not a very deep image
-- 80 minutes at F/5.0 is pretty short.  In addition, since the
processing lab forgot to push the film 1-stop, I'm sure it was very
difficult to scan.  As a result, I have included two images: one's
slightly skewed to the red side (i.e. probably closer to reality,
but clipped due to the "dark" slide) and one's imitating what the
slide really has to offer (i.e. since it's not a very deep image).
Basically, to produce the second and more neutral image, I made sure
the blue nebulas were more neutral in their Red and Green values.
Aesthetically, the first image looks better to me; however, the
second is probably more accurate in terms of what was captured on
the slide.

The link remains the same; however, by moving the mouse over the
image you can see the more neutral image.
