Hi Wei-Hao, I have seen your film work and it won't take you long to catch on to DSLR imaging. Some of your wide field winter milky way images are still etched in my mind.

stupid question

Posted By Joe McBride

I second Steves's advice. Don't use the filter because it will create reflections. I know about this first hand.

does the original box add value to an item?

Posted By Joe McBride

Hi Mark, I think it depends on the item being sold. If it is collectable then the box is iceing in the cake and can demand a premium. Having the original box can also have the meaning that the item being sold might be in excellent condition because the seller took the time to save the box. Here is another way... Say there are 2 ads for a complete set of UO flat top orthos mint for $800. One ad says no boxes. The other ad says each EP comes in original box. Which ad are you going to respond to first? Now if the ad read 25mm Kellner EP for sale...$25 I don't think it would matter much.

P.S. How is eveything in Montcalm County??

Nice image Jim. I have a question and that is how do you process the Ha shots? Do you debayer them or just add them in the mix with in the red channel?

Thanks

Advice Welcomed

hi Gary, The streaks could be GEO stationary satellite. As far as the color problem, just add some color saturation to the image and see what happens.
