Re: [APML] New NGC 6334 and 6357

Hi Don,

Was very nice to meet and talk to you also.  I use the SBIG eFinder with my
ST-V and it usually is all I need for a guider.  I plan to test guiding with
the ST-V and a 135mm lens for a little more fl and see if it improves
anything.  I should be able to get fainter stars as the lens is a Zuiko f2.8
and very sharp.  Focusing should also be easier.

The key to this shot was the very dark skies of New Mexico, not a hint of
anything at the horizon.  I just hope to go back when it's more transparent.

Jim
