Re: [APML] Back to a film image-Rho Ophiuchus

Hi Nicole,

I'm at lat 32.5 or so and Rho and Antares were crossing the meridian so it
was about as good as I can get from my location. It's still low in the sky
however and sky glow, especially the uneven and increasing amount of sky
glow going south through the image is a real problem to counter. This has
always been a problem target for me and I have tried many times to get good
images of this area. I think the only way to do it right is to take a trip
to Chile.
