Description

Mosaic of two images taken July, 10, 2003 using a Celestron NexStar 11 GPS in Alt/Az mode at prime focus, f10, with a Nikon N50. Used Fuji Provia 100F at 1/250 second. The image was underexposed by around 1 f-stop to achieve better detail. It was further processed in Corel Photo-Paint for brightness and contrast, with mild (1 pixel - 12 threshold) Un-sharp masking. Scanned at the 1 hour photo lab at 300dpi. Seeing was slightly above average (6 out of 10 in the Pickering scale) with average transparency (3 out of 6). Jose Suro Tierra Verde, Florida
