[APML] Pics Posted! (Tech Pan images)



Thanks Guys for the help and the offers!

I joined up with Pbase and i might even just buy a
spot there for a year til i decide to build another
website again.

Anyways....
Last night we had incredibly clear skies so I went out
for the challenge.....
However,I did not realize how much of a challenge the
night would have to offer once i was done polar
aligning and ready to guide, the knob to my moter
drive speed adjuster decided to break....no knob, no
problem..
I used a scissors to pry my way in there to adjust
speed...fun times.
Then i realized I forgot my adjuster for the
azimuth...no problem again...a pliars!
No way am i turning back to go home!!
Then .....i realized i didnt have a cable release!!
Arg!!
Good thing i used my Nikon F2 last night.....one can
get away with that:)
Besides all the astrophotography issues, it was a very
pleasant cool night....and i was succsessful....imo.
I wanted to go deeper, but with the pliars and the
scissors, that was just too much acrobatics for me.
Here are my results from last night.

PS, on the wider milky way shot, i think you might
notice a few odd artifacts on my film...you might even
want to play with them....feel free if you so wish.
