Re: [APML] Canyon composite

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi Rob -
Thanks for the kind words!
There is a gallery in Boston that shows Neil's work.  It would be worth
while to see the prints in person.
Also, looking at the "Sagittarius" image found in his Celestial Nights book,
it looks like he also has some astrophotography experience....using a guided
Milky Way shot.
