Re: [APML] Cone Nebula Region - Supra 400

Chris,
Nice shot. I love the wide field and there's some faint stuff there.
I know its hard to do h-alpha imaging with film which is too
bad considering all the h-alpha emission from this region.
>From what I've seen from Bobby and others maybe tech pan
would pick up more of the emission stuff. Here's a CCD shot
of the same region also with a 4" refractor (FSQ106).
