Hi Jeff -
That a real beauty! You captured the Prancing Horse Nebula with great
detail.
The image does look ever so slightly blue on my monitor. Maybe take
out 3-4 units?
Gotta love that altitude.... :-)

Hello all,
I
know the east coast folks are tired from all nighters! I got around to
playing with this image from August new Moon. I was originally setup to
do CCD, but the wind was just too much on top of Spruce Knob. I looked
at the pipe nebula and thought I was nuts for not doing medium format
film. I wish I had taken the time to drift align. This is my best,
but I am hoping to better with a trip to New Mexico next spring. I
combined two E200 exposures of about 40 minutes. I pushed two stops and
the grain was much more noticeable than without. I actually played with
using a Hydrogen alpha filtered image I had taken from moderately light
polluted skies to enhance the reds, but I didn't think it was much
better. I hope to have some images from Cherry Springs. My slide
processing takes a full week. They do a great job, so I will wait.
The atmosphere starts to fade out the contrast at the bottom of the
image. Hope the color looks OK. I like to preserve a natural look
without pushing the contrast too much.
Thanks,
Jeff
