Re: [APML] OT - Lunar digicam images

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Thanks Philipp.  I too am constantly amazed at the results I can get with a
digicam.  In the early days(mid 90's or before...<g>), most AP'ers,
including myself, could only dream of getting this kind of detail on
emulsion with the same instrument.

BTW, I checked out your site(I hadn't been there in a while) and I like the
new Orion nightscape shot with the mountains and fog filled valley.  Nice!

Must have something to do with the seeing-thing everybody is
