Allan,
Nicely done for your first image. You've already
heard from two of the best so there isn't much for me to add. I agree with John,
I would have expected more from the 90 minutes and 10 developing. Great start, I
see this is a raw image, lets see a processed one the next time
around.

Hello
all,
Hope the link works this time...
Between Santa Ana winds
and a nasty learning curve it's taken me months to get my first images - but
I'm finally making some progress! Took this on Saturday night 1/17/04 from a
spot North-East of Joshua Tree National Park in California. Vixen VC200L (8" -
f9 Cassegrain), Losmandy G11, guided with ST-4, hypered Tech Pan exposed for
90 minutes. Developed in D19 for 10 minutes. Scanned with Polaroid SprintScan
35+. This is the raw image.
I think my polar alignment looks good - no
field rotation that I can see (a first for me) - and it seems to be in decent
focus but I'm not sure. I'd appreciate ANY feedback. Based on the experience
of others was a fair amount of detail captured or is there more to be had? Any
suggestions for processing?

Thanks very
much,
