RE: [APML] One More Composite...

 Thanks for the comp, Chris!

     I have a similar image involving the Orion region, but my early processing 
efforts have room for improvment. When I get a max digital version, I'll pass 
it along!

     How's your observatory coming along? Guess you're done being a carpenter 
and ready to shoot some film, eh? <g> Didn't you say you were building the 
mount as well? If so... got any pix of the mount construction? I'm working on 
some GEM building projects myself... in my 'spare' time. <g>

 Best...

 Geoff
