15480 Empire Rd. Benson, AZ 85602 hm ph: 520-586-2244 Nice shot, Bernie. It shows the companion Holmberg IX (or is it X?) very well. I have tried to see it visually several times with no luck. Your picture gives me a good idea where to look. Thanks! BTW, I'm no astroimager, but maybe Dean Salman from the TAAA can offer some advice.

It was my most challenging image to date. I am happy with the detail I managed to get in the core, but am still not happy with the color. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. <http://www.azstarman.net/M_81.htm> http://www.azstarman.net/M81.htm Bernard -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
