RE: [APML] OT: CCD---Lunar Eclipse from the Boston area

["Arne Danielsen" <arnedani@online.no>]

John,

That's an interesting approach! I can't say I remember to have seen LRGB
shots of Lunar eclipses before. I think the image looks very good and
the colors are very close to how it appeared visually!! 

Best regards,
Arne
