Re: [APML] Deep shot question

Alan;
    You're right, sometimes the "obvious" eludes us. I have heard of people
sitting at home griping under clear skies because their STV is in the shop.
They must have forgotten that a crosshair eyepiece and a thermos of potent
coffee will also do the job. :-) For some jobs tech pan is still the only
way to go with film, and last I checked Lumicon stills sells it hypered. You
will also need some D19, details on it's use has been covered in the
archives. Any questions, give me a yell. Practice developing on some blank
or daytime shots first! You will need to process it yourself (not difficult)
but get it right before processing a two or three hour shot! If you have
used tech pan before, sorry for stating the obvious..... Please post if you
get an image, we don't see many shots of this galaxy group.
