Re: [APML] New Prime Focus

[Alan Voetsch <alanv12952@yahoo.com>]

Hey Gary,

Congrats. While guiding the 49 minute shot, did you ever say to
yourself; "That's it, I've gotta get an autoguider?" 8-)

This shot looks funny, but I'm not sure why. It looks soft, or not
clearly defined for some reason. Could your focus have been a little
soft, or maybe that in combination with some guide errors?

I see that some of the faint brown background stuff shows here, but
cannot be certain because of glare on my monitior. Do you know if it is
actual, or is it an artifact resulting from the processing?

Keep on shootin',
Alan
