[APML] Deep M8M20

["Steve Lindsey" <stevelindsey@earthlink.net>]

I just processed a 45 min shot I did right after the 15 min shot at RTMC for
comparison with the 300mm Nikon at f4.5.  I tried to pull back on the blown
out central portion of the nebulas and then reboost the color a bit but I'm
not sure I like the result.  Maybe I'll go back and mask in the shorter
exposure.

I also slightly tweaked the 15 version to take out mild vignetting and boost
the contrast with levels and curves as well (I like it much better now) and
cropped them similarly for comparison.  You can toggle the images to go back
and forth.  They are so different I can't say I like on vs. the other
better.
