RE: [APML] Two new images from mid May

["Jon Kolb" <jkolb@datawest.net>]

First of all, that's a great image, Mike.  Sh2-1, IC4601 all there -
very nice.  I notice some gradation to green near the bottom of the
frame, but this must be a pretty low target from Oregon.

I don't know of a name for it.  Dean Kettelsen told me about it once,
but didn't mention a catalog or other name.  This is the best image I've
ever seen of it.
