Re: [APML] OT: Visual on NEAT

Hi Jeff,

The prime focus images are with a Nikon D70.  I also took some wide 
angle shots with film, but the haze was so bad that I doubt they will be 
any good.  Clouds are rolling in from the east here so I doubt I'll get 
out tonight.  Good luck with your skies this weekend.

Joe
