Goin' all electric

Total cost of the Volt, fully loaded be just over $25k, so comparable to the cost of a typical midsize car (Camry, Fusion etc.)

$25K? Brand new? Is this after rebates?

Comet Panstars

Posted By Enrico Africa

Neat one, Roland! This is one that "got away", as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't shoot it from NM (camera currently out of commission, and the comet was too low for my obs walls for best viewing), and the weather sucked for my location except for the one night I was not available to view it! :C

M5 RGB

Posted By Enrico Africa

Floyd,

The colors seem muted on this, especially when compared with your nice M13 shot. Was there any difference in processing? It will be interesting if the processing steps (specifically the color stretching) were identical for both. I opened this M5 image last night on my iPad, and thought for a moment that it was a mono shot! I see the colors now (different computer/monitor), but the colors seem a bit washed out.
