Nice shots, Alan.  Those are some hella-long exposures.

OK, here's some more from earlier this month, all shot on Fuji SHQ200.
As was the Rosette, which I beleve I forgot to mention.

Leo Quad. I need to re-shoot this and forget about NGC 3593 in the
lower right corner. That will alow the trio to be better centered in
the axis of illumination. NGC 3628 is too far away from the center of
the frame and did not show up all that well. This is terrible, but I
ran out of ideas. So...suggestions anyone? Only a single 2 hour shot.

M101 and friends. A single 225 minute shot through the FS-102 on
SHQ200, almost 4 hours. I may have overdone it; after an USM, I thought
it was contrasty and then slammed a Gaussian blur on it too.

The Monkey Head Nebula, NGC 2174 in Orion. 130 minutes on SHQ200, shot
on 2/11/05. The others were done on 2/10/05. All scanned at maximum dpi
(4000) on a Sprintscan 4000 and processed in PS7.

I know more work will be needed, especially on the galaxie shots.
