Area 51

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Alan, I'm really glad you enjoyed it... it was a blast for sure!
We had a great, dark & cool, cloudless night (not to mention mosquitoless too!)

I stayed until 5:15am... time when we all decided to go home.

I have some shots I'm still working on, and will post/send shortly... stay tuned!


Clear skies, my friends! 8)

That's fantastic stuff Thomas!
I can definitely see the difficulty in this area, as the dust cover pretty much the whole region... well done! 8)

M3 reprocessed, need your comments please

Nice image Floyd!
For some reason I believe there is more data than what your image shows... maybe you should look at your levels/curves... try to bring out more of the cluster. (I'll play with it in Photoshop, to see what comes out... stay tuned)


Clear skies, and keep it up! 8)
