Re: [APML] Rescued Horsehead

Thanks Stephen.  Looking forward to a redo.  Yes the shot before this one
was a pair of 120 min. shots of Merope in M45 which took a good part of the
night and a bleed over from the mag 2.8 star nearby has all but ruined both
images.  These long exposure film shots take lots of patience.
