[APML] Two New Images

["Thomas W. Earle" <twade@bmi.net>]

I keep turning out the Comet Machholz images I took in late January
and early February.  Here's the latest:

It was taken with Fuji NPZ 800.  Again, this is an excellent comet
film since it excels in capturing the ion tail.  This particular
image was guided on the stars; hence, the reason for such a short
exposure.  I'm still not completely satisfied with this image, but
it good enough to show.  I'll continue to tweak over the following
weeks.

As promised earlier in the week, here's a Fuji NPZ 800 image of the
Orion region.  It was taken with the Takahashi FSQ-106N.  Although
it may be difficult to see all the wispy "blue" nebulas in the field
of view, they are there.  Of course, they really should be red.  As
should be obvious, one should avoid this film for H-alpha regions.

Hope you enjoy,
