[APML] Taras' Astrophoto Page updated

["Taras R. Hnatyshyn" <tarashnat@earthlink.net>]

Fellow APMLers!

I spent last weekend up in the Catskills and got one good night for photographing
the heavens. It was a long night, but I am pleased with the results. Also, I spent
some of last month finally using the QuickCam-based SAC-IV camera I bought 
earlier this year. I used it to "split" double stars, image Saturn, and to make mosaics
of the moon. Things I can do under the severely light polluted skies of New York
City.

I've added a sample of the new photos to my astrophoto website, and collected them
on the new photos page. The link the new photos page is 

	http://homepage.mac.com/tarashnat/astrophoto/new.html

I'm especially proud of my photo of the California Nebula (film):

And this mosaic of the moon (CCD):



This update includes 39 new images. There are now 173 images on my site

The main link to the site is:

I haven't processed the images much other than to stretch the histograms or
play a bit with the contrast. Unless otherwise noted, the film images are scans
from prints. I haven't gotten around to using my Minolta Scan Elite film scanner 
much, yet.

Enjoy,

Taras
