Re: [APML] First Film Astrophoto

["Donnie Bigers" <dbigers@henderson.net>]

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Yeah, processing is definitely
something to work on. In an attempt to get the sky "blacker"--I overdid it
on the levels.

The exposure details are at the top of the Astrophoto page. I dont have a
scanner--yet!! I took the prints over to my Dad's house and ran them through
quickly, as they had plans for the afternoon. I'm going to purchase a
scanner sometime in the near future. When I do I will rescan them and try
and learn some more techniques,

Thanks,

Donnie
