I have been trying new processing techniques and revisiting old data.  I can tell that my focusing used to not be so good! 

I can also tell what a difference longer sub exposures make.

This is a pretty cool three panel mosaic!  The bottom right panel is from a "failed" attempt to shoot the Fox Fur Nebula from
December 23, 2008.  The middle panel was the "successful" shot from December 23, 2009.  The left most panel was another
"failed" shot from November 28, 2009.  Glad I'm a digital pack rat!
