My First Lith Print

This is my first attempt at lith printing. I know it's not perfect that's for sure. There's way to much contrast in the tops of the trees, even in a straight print. But the negative has the info there. I have no idea how I got the color like that but that's how I want them all to look. I know I only over exposed one stop to preserve the contrast. The really neat thing in the print is the texture in the bark of the trees. When I tried over exposing the texture dissappeared too. And figuring out the snatch point! omg! How do you people do it? I'd really like to get a hotplate or something to keep the temp up. If anyone has any ideas or tips please do tell. Thanks!
