Re: [APML] Gas hypered Velvia claim on Usefilm?

[Philip Perkins <philip@astrocruise.com>]

Taras,

Well spotted.  This guy is full of cr*p - a Meade 8" SCT can't capture 
anywhere near this field of view, quite apart from the nonsense about 
hypered Velvia.  This is a straight rip-off of Jerry Lodriguss's shot, and 
he's even had the cheek to put his own copyright on it!!

Someone like this deserves all he receives - I hope the folks on APML will 
oblige!

Regards
