Re: [APML] New shots: M35 (SHQ200) and M37 (Provia 400F)

Scott and Stuart,

Thanks, but I'm used to hearing some advice on my processing, and so
far there is none. Did I get lucky, or, by attempting to *NOT*
over-process these, did I do the right thing?

It seems that clusters don't need too much done to them, but in the
past I have tried to throw everything in the book at them. Leading to
all sorts of weird artifacts. I simply kept to levels and curves on
these.

Scott, these are short ones for me. The only DSO's I ever saw burned
out in the exposure range of under 120 minutes (f/8 and f/10) was M57.
Almost all shots from this location, at my f/ratios, benefit from at
least 150 minutes. Although, I'm sure most clusters could get by with
less. These did.

Thanks guys,
Alan
