Thanks Scott.

I have to thank Tony for help with RG200's colors. The 'infamous' green 
gun method (used sparingly) is needed since the film's sensitivity to 
green is elevated.

It is kind of strange on the core. I did take two 5 minute exposures 
between the two long exposures but I have not composited them in yet.
Mainly because I have not learned the technique yet 8-) ( maybe I need 
to buy Jerry's book? ). I tried not to stretch the image anymore than I 
had to - maybe that preserved the detail better?
