Lens (?) Flare

Posted By Joe McBride

Hi Alex, I might have the same problem except mine is with the horse head. I have a few curved sleeks and some light/cloudy spots toward the top. I am going to have the lab rewash my slides and see if that fixes things. If not I'll have to reshoot.

regards

A way to make prints from slides

Posted By Joe McBride

Here is a scan of the original slide with no enhancement. When duping slides you can also use color filters to enhance color or correct color balance when you make the dupe. You can also have more color correction when the final printing is done. This Horse Head shot was taken with my C-11 for 15min under fairly light polluted skies. It shows up ok on the original but with the dupe process I discussed it looks a ton better.

Thanks

Joe

The Horsehead Nebula in Orion

Hi Peter, Good set of photos you posted here. How much if any have you cropped in these photos. I am looking for the level of coma correction in these scopes? How is the quality of the focuser?
