Here's a shot I could never really get with emulsions. Thank God for CCD's.  I remember getting a good shot of it in 1986 with my Schmidt camera at the WSP and stacking 3 negatives in the darkroom.  It was all right but this is soooo much better and easier. This is one of my favorites. Mother nature was kind to me .Had a dry front move in in July and made the seeing exceptional so I slayed my Luminance that night.
