Re: [APML] Cygnus

["Brian Larmay" <astrobri@ameritech.net>]

Thanks Frank!
My exposures are always limited to around 7-10 mins here @ f/4 using E200.
The only place I can go to get away with that is up north in Tomahawk,or out
west towards Madison Wi.
I am surprised at the detail I do get with that kind of exposure.

As for the image, I think its a bit too blue and green, but am pretty
satisfied where it sits.
Its hard to get the most out of my slides giving that I still use an old
LS-10E with the old scuzzy setup.

Thanks Frank,
Brian

By the way, Nice website...I am highly envious of your sky clock
conditions...can I have one of those nights?<g>
