Re: [APML] Possible Fake or Worse??

Hi, and thanks, John.  I hope you're well and getting some dark skies to 
work that ST10 under.  As I've written elsewhere, this 10D can image up 
to 5 min, but it still has lots of noise that must be dark frame 
subtracted (I'm using PS7 layers, difference, balance).  Many frames 
must be used to get the smoothness I'm used to in film, and my first try 
was lots of work, needing lots more work.  The jury is still out as to 
whether the work product is worthwhile.  We'll see.

Best regards,
