[APML] Another September Image

["Jon Kolb" <jkolb@datawest.net>]

Here's another one I shot last month, of IC1396 in Cepheus.  Not the
best rendition ever seen, but certainly my best my best attempt at this
object in six years of shooting at it.  The image posted is barely
cropped at all - just enough to get rid of a raw edge from scanning, so
it shows the vignetting from the Pentax 67 camera body and the TMB field
flattener.  90 minutes on E200, unpushed.  I had another shot of this
from a different night on Provia 400F that I intended to stack, but I
botched the composition, and since it takes up most of the frame, there
isn't much room for error.  Even without the 400F shot involved, I'm
pretty happy with how VDB 142 shows up, along with all of the dark
globules in this area.
