Thanks Matt.  I took my time smoothing this one making sure not to over do 
it.

 >The Supra 400 was unhypered?
Not hypered.

 >Was the original image vignetted?
Funny you should ask.  I guess I'll have to swallow
my pride and come clean...
It is NOT the full frame.  Vignetting was not a problem.
Somehow I managed to goof up the framing!  Yes...on
the brightest nebulae in the sky!  Therefore
I cropped it to center things up better.  I should probably
just sell my equip and call it quits. lol

 >Do I see a star shaping artifact around the brightest star?
I figured I could count on you to pick out shaping errors! <g>
In this case however, nair al saif recorded this way on film.
Maybe my dew heater on the FF failed?  Any ideas?
