For every good photo, there's plenty of bad ones!
- Here's my very first astrophoto - M13 (27k) taken on my Meade 2080. Note the "sprocket holes" - they 1 hour photo guy misfed my negative! Ouch!
- Here's my second attempt at M13 (26k) a month later with my brand new Celestron Ultima 8 PEC.
All the photos were taken through the SSC-10. The photos were developed at a 1 hour photo and then 4"x6" prints were scanned. On some of the images I adjusted the gamma correction to make the background darker. No other enhancements were done, unless noted.
