Re: [APML] new 12.5 pics

Thanks Philip and everyone for the comments. I am real happy with the M-20
shot; I guess I really had some good conditions that night. I didn't do much
stretching to that shot and with some playing around I can bring out the
blue all the way around the red emission region without getting
"over-stretched". I'll probably do that for my print when I have it made.
I'm very happy with the PJ 400. My results have been so much better since I
shortened my hyper times as you and another person suggested. Like you; I
sure hope the LE 400 is the same stuff.
