Re: [APML] Cephus to Cygnus

Hi Bobby:
Very nice mosaic! One can really appreciate how much dimmer IC1396 is than
the Cygnus nebulas! No wonder I have such a hard time getting it to really
stand out from the background in my shots. Your supply of PPF seems to be
holding up nicely---color is still very stable and seems quite appropriate
to the subject(s). I just threw out my last batch of it---had apparently
gone unstable from being taken out of the fridge and then back in again too
many times. How old is yours and are you refrigerating or freezing it?
Unhypered or hypered?
Bert
