[APML]: new pic

["Joseph O'Neil" <joneil@multiboard.com>]

I posted a new 50mm shot of Cygnus and the NA nebula in my pics page I am 
happy with .  400 ISO Eleite slide film, exposure unrecorded (probally about 15 min).

        I am also adding infromation aobut the 4x5 sheet film astrograph.  Sorry, no 
pictures as of yet.  I am still developing them.  The big, big, big problem with this 
size film is that the effects of feild rotation really show up quickly.

        Trying to polar algin with a motor drive that cuts in and out of operation on 
you is a real bear of a job - impossible in fact.  I was using drift alignment.  
Another problme is even with my "brick outhouse" steel tripod, you still ahve factors 
such as the gorund setteling, so you have to re-align each night.  That, and the fact 
I was at a Starparty (StarFest, Canada's largest, about 1000 people), you have people 
comming by all day, looking at your equipment, bumping into it, etc.  A permenant 
location is the only way to go here.
