Hasselblad Adapter was [APML] Astronomical Image Enhancement Trial

["westergren" <westergren@netzero.net>]

Dave,

I peeked at your web site and saw the pictures of your Hasselblad adapter.
Do you use the slide as your shutter?  Do you get much disturbance of the
autoguider when you "open the exposure"?  I'm curious because I have been
planning to make my own Hasselblad adapter, but haven't figured an easy way
to make a remote shutter.
