I loaded my first contact photo to my
facebook<https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/576611_3286644288279_134792668_n.jpg>page.
I took nearly 200 photos, processing now. Used my Orion 8XTi Dob with
a Bader solar filter from www.starizona.com and a Canon XSi direct
connected with a 2x barlow.
My big question to the group is: "What is the best way to process these
images?" I am stumbling my way through with Adobe Lightroom 3 and it seems
to be working. Just hoping that someone has some helpful hints or
suggestions.
