<h1>The RAS Expedition to Yerkes, 11/02/96</h1>

<P><i>Yerkes Yerkes Yerkes</i>--Some former member.
<p>The thrill that is a trip to Yerkes is something I'll never forget.
Yerkes is <b>Grand</b>, more so than other observatories I've been to, because evidence of its great past
exist in every twisty passageway and nook in the building.
<p>General photos of the trip will be scanned; however, I'd like to speed distribution
of the CCD images a little sooner.
<h2>Moon shots</h2>
<P>All of these images were taken with a ST-7 camera
attached to a 10-inch Cassegrain at Yerkes Observatory.
Clouds interefered with the whole session--all the images here
were taken <i>through</i> them. This was actually good as the
camera had a minimum exposure of 0.1 sec, which meant it saturated
the camera all the time. Any weird brightness variations over the moon
are from the clouds.
<P>These were image processed in Quantum Image and LviewPro. Unsharp
masking was used extensively.
