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

["Robert Reeves" <reeves10@swbell.net>]

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
--Philip

I agree that this looks like a ripped off Lodrigus image.  The story the guy
posts about a precision clock drive doesn't pass the smell test either.  I
only hope Jerry uses the same image marking methods that some other
well-known top guns do (alter the position of strategic stars to make the
image unique) so he can nail the SOB.
