Tony,

I'm glad my single shot with color film on 4" refractor could rally the big guns to the cause.

You got tremendous detail and tight stars. I see a number of background galaxies. I think that is the best shot of M45 I've seen. And, as Rob said, you have Tony Hallas colors!

Yes sir... but only with negative film I guess. Coincidently you'll notice the histogram came out just about perfect...
