Re: [APML] OT: M101 project completed

["Paul M. Rybski" <rybskip@idcnet.com>]

Dear Bob,

      A truly outstanding image!  Bob Benjamin, his student Mavis 
Fohtung and I are observing through this coming Monday on the Kitt 
Peak 0.9 meter telescope and were inspired by an earlier version of 
this image to observe M101 in U,B, V, R and I as well as in  H alpha 
and H beta.  Though I doubt we'll be able to process our images in as 
sophisticated a manner as you did your's, it will be interesting to 
compare our results with your's.

Paul
