Re: [APML] First Results from southern France

Philip this is wonderful resolution........and I would venture to say the
shot is probably the best and sharpest photons that a Meade has ever put on
film for m-51.
You have certainly coaxed out the best from the 10". And we look forward to
your other shots you still have yet to post. What's this about a 12.5?
Sounds like a somewhat "pregnant" condition <g> I'm sure the "new one" will
bring you lots of joy and happiness. And sounds like quite a pedigree in the
breeding too!
Are you happy with the PJ400? Do you see any difference in it and the PJM?
