My memory is as good as ever - thank you very much, Mr. Watson !! I won't venture to suggest catching YOU on the downside is as rare as an eclipse, but it does happen and should reside in everyone's memory for all eternity (and that is a verrra long time). If and when we meet on the other side, I will still ask you if you know the difference between M13 and M92. You might know a little more by then :) I agree with both Chuck and Joe (and thanks Joe for corrobor ation of my 1991 observation - MAYBE now Brent will accept it snicker snicker - as it comes from a man. He wouldn't take my identification of M13 until Scott Crosby - a man- agreed with me ). In all seriousness, the "over" processing of digital photos should be a real concern. There are some fantastic images out there, but the question is - are they real. Has the photographer processed the image in such a way as to add "detail" that doesn't really exist in reality. Can that misinformation lead us astray as to what is really going on? As a side note on the subject, personal observation still stands equal to if not better than a photograph.
