From Blue Knob, PA. 16 September 2007. Taken with an NP-101 at F/5.4.
One 5 minute exposure taken with a Hutech modified Canon 350D at
400ASA. Full frame but reduced to 1/4 of original. Raw image, no
processing.

Hi Robert. Nice result. The modified Hutech really works out well for
you. I hope you don't mind, but I messed around with that image a bit to
see what I could do with it in photoshop (just to keep my reflexes sharp,
since my scope is currently out of commission). Here's what I came up
with. I hope I didn't screw it up too badly. I think it brought out the
nebula in a bit more detail. Of course, this is a low resolution image.
I'm sure the original would work out a lot better.
