I finally got it together and managed to cobble together this my first ever piggyback widefield constellation shot. Its a 4 min unguided exposure on Kodak E200. I used an Olympus OM1n 35mm SLR w/Zuiko 50mm normal lens @ f1.8. The camera was mounted on top of my 120mm achromat and then the eq-3 mount was drift aligned untill an alignment star held for 10 minutes on a 9mm recticle crosshair mounted in a TV 2.5x Powermate. I scanned the negative (processed by a local pro shop - Penn Camera in Laurel, MD) into raw *tif format file with a Nikon Coolscan V ED. No preset levels. Just straight scan. Then using Paint Shop Pro 8,0 I adjusted curves, unsharp masked and threw on the border and text. Any constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks for looking -------------------- John SV-102APO SV-80/9d Losmandy G11 HX-916 Edited by Blueshark928 (03/27/04 12:44 AM) Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on March Challenge from Suk Lee Echo 02/21/04 04:55 PM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Anonymous   03/18/04 01:06 AM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Suk Lee   03/18/04 02:53 AM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Anonymous   03/09/04 11:54 PM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Charlie Hein   03/19/04 12:02 PM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Suk Lee   03/19/04 01:55 PM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Charlie Hein   03/19/04 05:39 PM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Charlie Hein   03/20/04 11:52 AM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Blueshark928   03/22/04 08:28 AM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Charlie Hein   03/23/04 06:22 PM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Blueshark928   03/27/04 12:35 AM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Suk Lee   03/27/04 01:54 AM Re: March Challenge from Suk Lee Blueshark928   03/27/04 02:42 AM This just out!
