[APML] Help with M8 on Tech Pan

["Thom Iwancio" <tiwancio@sc.rr.com>]

Hey gang, looking for someone to take a look at my latest image and tell
me what I am seeing.  I am not sure if it is vignetting, uneven
hypering/processing or just part of the star clouds in Sagittarius.
There are way to many variables with TP as compared to E200 slides.

The unexposed frames all have even density so I don' think it is the
hypering or processing.

The image is M8, 45 minutes through a Meade 8" with a Lumicon Easy
Guider, focal reducer in the f6 position.  Hypering was 96 hrs, 50 C,
Lumicon 8% forming gas @ 3 psi.  Scan was reduced to 8 bit in order to
save as a jpg and resized to 1024 x 697 with no other processing.  I can
email the full 9 meg scan if anyone is interested.

I still have guiding and focus issues to resolve, but I fell like I am
slowly making progress.

Thanks in advance,
