Pinwheel M 33

Posted By August R. Orlandi
Here is a 45 minute shot I did of M-33 or
the Pinwheel Galaxy,on Fuji Provia 400.
All that was done to this was to crop it when I scanned it and reduced the dpi's
in Photoshop.
Equipment used:
AP 155mm refactor,w/field flattener, Pentax 6X7 camera.
Seeing and transparency was about an 8.

B 343 & NGC 6888

Posted By August R. Orlandi
Here is a shot I took of B-343 & NGC 6888
or The Cresent Nebula. I really didn't realize the Cresent was this close to
B-343.
This was a 45 minute exposure on Kodak E-200 film,taken with an AP 155mm refactor,Pentax 6X7 camera and AP field flattener.
I may have over did the red in this just to show how much nebulously there is in this area.
As always comments welcome
