Re: [APML] M31 on Provia 400F...

 Hi Michael...

     I have an Apogee 'Widestar', 100mm/f6.4... an older, early production unit 
with the 'good' lens... later units had a removable MV-1 filter to meet 
the 'semi-apo' claims, or so I'm told. I'm using a Teleview 0.8 focal reducer 
with it for now... but will shoot some without the focal reducer as well. It 
does have some chromatic abberations... as evidenced by the M31 image... but it 
isn't terrible. It's also going to be a great finder for my 10" f7 newtie! 
Here's a snapshot under rather harsh lighting from a couple of weeks ago ----->

I eventually will add 'Equipment/Locations' info on the web-site... now I'm 
just anxious to process my sky shots from this last outing... did I mention how 
*awesome* the skies were for me last weekend?   <g>

 Best...

 Geoff
