Re: [APML] One more time! First image-M81-VC200L
Thanks to all that responded!
I'll try some of the processing suggestions with the image and see what I can get out of it. Hopefully I'll have lots of practice in the near future and some Tech Pan with a bit more oomph!

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.

Subject: [APML] One more time! First image-M81-VC200L
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,
