[APML] deep M45

["Bobby Middleton" <bobm@koyote.com>]

Matt's BenDaniel's shot from a few weeks ago was the inspiration for this
E200-TP deep exposure of M45. When Matt posted his PPF shot and was looking
at ways to reduce the grain I knew that this image was a tec pan shot. I
finished processing one today. It's a single E200 75 min + a TP 60 min
composite. I had a second E200 shot but slight trailing got it. (I hate
guidescopes!!!)

I like Matt's shot better in some ways; I think it has better color and he
has isolated the two IC nebulas a bit better than I have, but if compared
you will notice the obvious grain improvement from the TP and E200. I'm
taking the liberty to post Matt's URL of his shot. Matt did a great job
getting this much out of PPF:

Comments and thoughts welcome.
Matt: You could do wonders with TP. If you had a good TP shot to go with
your PPF shot you'd have a really outstanding, world-class image.
