[ATMoB-discuss] First photo from C14/ST7 - reprocessed

[Bruce Berger]

To be fair John, this isn't my first astroimage. I've done some tinkering
with the Meade DSI, a webcam, and a Minolta DSLR. I'm also pretty good with
Photoshop, but more so on non-astro stuff. But I still consider myself a
beginner.

I'm thinking of the challenge of capturing M57 with the 'rose petals' like
in the Wikipedia link I sent out earlier. I bet that would take many more
frames to get that detail.
