Re: [APML] Another composite

Thanks Rob, Brian, Chris, Bobby and Jim!
    This was a fun little project. The hardest part is to make the join
between the daytime shot and the start of the night time shot as seamless as
possible. I think that the gradient and the diffraction spikes from Jupiter
help to draw your attention away from it. I revised the image a bit, and
drew in the diffraction spikes in front of the mountains and darkened it a
bit more. Sort of like adding a blooming spike to a CCD image I guess! It
sure is tough to not have it look like a composite. Brian, the "meteors" you
saw are actually diffraction spikes from Saturn, which is just below the
"horizon".
