I push-processed the film 1 stop. I can't remember the exposure info, but I do remember shooting about 40 shots before I finally got a decent one. Io is the small red dot at lower left.

It's a good thing digital sensors came along. -------------------- Hutech 30D, SBIG ST-402 autoguider SV80S, SV66 guidescope AP900, G-11, Barndoor tracker http://www.pbase.com/s58y Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
