Re: [APML] Tech Pan Developing Q

["Brian Larmay" <astrobri@ameritech.net>]

Thanks Kirk for the great response and referral..

The photographer whom I was speaking to was not a woman but a man... Lynn
Radeka, and deserves recognition not only for his response but his work...a
very very good photographer.
His website is worth a visit even though it is not astrophotography... you
can access by going here: http://www.radekaphotography.com/

Check out his BW  stuff...incredible!

Take care,
Brian
