Hi,

This image was taken on 05/28/04, the Avi did not look to promising and I had decided not to process it, today I decided to give it a try and it turned out better than I though it would.

14.5 Starmaster working at F/28, DMK21F04 Firewire video
camera, 30FPS, 1/1024 Shutter, stack of 575 frames.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Absolutely incredible! Wes, I've got to tell you, you might as well quit now 'cause it will never get better than that!

Best,

I believe this is the most breathtaking of the Straight Wall picture I've ever seen taken through an earthbound telescope. A two-thumb up Wes!

I look forward to see more of your work.
