Hi Edward,

I can't say enough good things about my Epson Perfection 3200, it works great. The attached photo was E100 slide scanned at 3200dpi. I've read many reviews about this scanner before buying it and most think it stands up well when compared to film scanners in the same price range.

I have had mine awhile and Epson has now replaced it with the Epson Perfection 4870. From what I've read about it, sounds like Epson didn't drop off the quality at all, just added finer resolution and more tools like Digital Ice technology.

The software that come with is also nice, like Photoshop Elements 2.0. I saw that Newegg has the 4870 for $383.00, but you should be able to find refurbed 3200s for under $300 also.

Hi Mark,

I've been watching the lights for about an hour from my back yard here in south east Wisconsin. Being just 10 or so miles from Downtown Milwaukee the sky isn't to dark, but this aurora is displaying real well. Large green band crossing the sky 40 to 60 degrees from the northern horizon and is glowing fairly bright.

I am going to go out back and watch it for awhile, hope it lights up a little more.
