RE: [APML] Witchhead Challenge

[John Mirtle <spampit@shaw.ca>]

Hi Scott,
	I'm still here, just really busy these days. I still see all the
posts but it can be a long time before I have a chance to read them, long
enough that there isn't much point in replying. I like how Chris worked the
image. Smooth, yet still preserving the detail. I just wanted to bring out
the "red stuff" and did so at the expense of everything else. :) The
emission component is extremely faint! You are one of the few people I have
seen to catch even a whiff of it on film. New Mexico Skies must be just
awesome. 
	
	I still have 3-4 years worth of tech pan, chemistry and print papers
so I will remain on the list for a while yet. I might even post a new film
image from time to time. :)

Holy Smoke! John Mirtle! Where have you been?

Nice guys! Chris, Joe and John, rising to the challenge for a tough object
and unfortunately not a perfect file to work with. The trailed stars show
worse on the smaller version when enlarged for the web. I'll post the whole
file reduced, but it'll be a big file. I'll also post the uncropped version
when I post mine. You guys do nice work.

Interesting difference between Chris and John's, more red showing in John's.

Mine was taken at New Mexico Skies and here is a CCD image taken with the
STL11000 and AP130 by Chris Hetlage on the same night. We drove the 1300
miles from Atlanta together.
