About a year ago I hear Jack Newton give a talk. I believe that I
saw a picture of his 16" which was mounted on a polar mount. I asked
him about the use of the Pictor imager and he said to me that he used it
to get basic images and used another program to do the processing. I
think it was Hidden Image. I am not 100% certain about these matters.
It would indeed be nice if he would comment from time to time about his
techniques.
