Hi Patrick, I'll try with this bunch. I have a hunch that a group of relatively shorter exposures, like the previous ones you did, will be better for showing the jet than longer ones. But I'm not sure how long is too long. Sounds fun. Thanks, Joe --- On Tue, 3/29/11, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:

I'll be interested to see if 4 5' do better (or worse) at showing the jet than 20 1'.
'Couse I suppose some industrious person could put all 24 images together for a total 40 minutes of exposure time.

Nice work Don.
Actually using Photoshop I was able to bring out a bit more detail: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/m87-f4.jpg
The jet looks a lot like the F-4s I worked on in Vietnam. :)
But seriously, now that I see what 20 one minute exposures will do I'm going to try 4 five minute exposures and see if there's any difference.

Patrick and Joe,
See http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4170&g2_imageViewsIndex=1. You can clearly see the jet. Thanks Patrick.
