Hi, Rob,

Very nice. I confess I look at these images and get a much different 
reaction than I do to most, including the images you take. The reason? No 
matter what happens, I'll never shoot through a 32" telescope. I know... It 
sounds idiotic but it's still my reaction. As always, I much preferred the 
galaxy shots. I could easily be wrong but the nebulae looked to be sections 
of larger frames.

I went to Jim Misti's web site and looked over his images. It was 
interesting comparing his film images to his CCD images. In the sampling I 
viewed, I thought the star colors were more muted in the former. In 
addition, the stars seemed larger relative to those in the CCD images. In 
general, I found the film images softer and less satisfying than the CCD 
images. I was surprised to see red halos around some of the brighter stars 
in his film images as I thought I was the only one with that problem. I have 
a shot of M46 that I thought was decent but seeing his makes me want to run 
away and hide. I never saw the planetary looking like that before not to 
mention that he might have captured the very faint central star. Again, the 
image scale in concert with the light gathering power are far beyond 
anything most mere mortals will ever use.
