[APML] North America Nebula - TV85, Supra 400

["Dave Dockery" <dave.dockery@zianet.com>]

Between my summer vacation and the New Mexico monsoon season I didn't shoot
any film between early May and September this year.  I was getting pretty
antsy to get out into the desert and get a shutter open until the weather
and moon and my work schedule all finally came together a couple of weeks
ago.  Here's a shot of NGC7000 taken at our club dark sky site north of Las
Cruces.  Two 45 minute images were combined in Registar and processed in
Photoshop.  I brought up the reds a bit (hopefully not too much) using
curves and finished with a pass using SGBNR.  BTW, I did most of the
processing using a ViewSonic flatscreen monitor and it seems like the only
downside is that the images are much more vibrant than they appear on a CRT
so I have to be careful to not leave them looking too dull on a regular
monitor.

I've learned an awful lot from this group and feel like my skills are
advancing a little with this image.  I just want to say thanks. 

Comments welcome,
Dave
