[APML] Some Widefield Shots

["Steve Lindsey" <stevelindsey@earthlink.net>]

Here's a few I finally processed from last new moon:

First try using the Chris Cook's old Nikor 105mm I bought from him over
Christmas.  Also my first use of a diffusion filter to highlight bright
constellation stars.  Got some bright ring effects I didn't expect probably
due to moisture from thin high clouds that night (any other ideas?).  Star
were slightly trailed which also surprised me at 105mm and I carefully drift
aligned so I guess I better guide with the trusty ST4 next time.

Comments appreciated.

Steve
