Very good example of what vignetting looks like. Textbook.
Also, coma at top two corners, but not bottom. Your film holder may not hold film flat on both sides.
Shot shows a lot of stars, though.
Can you digitally process photo, or crop and expand slightly? I think NGC205 would stand out better if you did.
It looks like you could go to 45minutes or an hour with this film before you fog, and that might capture more light.
But digital processing may find more extension in the same shot with a little processing.
Film, huh? You'll be dangerous when you get a CCD.
Keep shooting.

| Don, re: vignetting...is that evident from the drop off in the density of stars toward the outer edges of the shot? Also, I guess I'm not familiar by what you mean be coma (I thought it would be distortion showing itself as the stars not being pinpoint...but I don't see any distortion in the stars). Am I just not looking close enough? |

i agree with what don is saying- coma is noticeable towards the edges, and there is some vignetting. still, i think it's a nice image with good detail!  |
