RE: [APML] deep M45

Bobby, one of the best images around.  EE Barnard would be proud of your
image.  You even captured the rosy pink of the end of the Merope nebula, not
an easy feat.  Deep shots like this are supposed to show some sort of faint
edge on galaxy near M45.  Im not sure where it is, but I bet you have it.

Subject: [APML] deep M45


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.
