[APML] A salvaged M33?

[Jeff Ball <ball3@MARSHALL.EDU>]

Hey APML,

 

I have done about the best I could do with an M33 I shot back in November.  I shot several negatives, but many had soft focus and could not be used.  Unfortunately, the best focus shots were not framed particularly well.  So I made do with what I had and composited 3 shots with significant cropping.  The image is pretty noisy, I assume from the enlargement.  I am currently reading all I can on noise reduction, but the material takes awhile for me to digest.  In the meantime, here is my best offering of M33 to date. 

 

 Just as I was starting to get the hang of my LX200, my AP 130 arrived and so I sold the LX200 this month.  I am in photo limbo until I can acquire a mount for the 130.  Anyone have a mount?

 

Here is the link to my new webpage design and images with all of the details.  Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
