Olympus OM-1. Wasted a lot of film back then, to get a decent pic. -------------------- A few telescopes of dubious value. Understanding wife and three curious cats.

Was this taken during a lunar eclipse? My reason in asking is because of the ruddy areas above the gray, and yellow areas above the ruddy areas, before the white areas at the top of the image. It's just more color than I would expect in an unfiltered image of the moon, even with film. Thanks for sharing. -------------------- Kenneth Zhumell 10" Dobsonian (f/4.9) 2" 32mm WA eyepiece 9mm, 12.5mm, and 20mm Plossls 6mm TMB/BO Planetary 2" 2x ED Barlow Nikon 10x50 binocular (6.5 deg FOV) Post Extras:       Clive Gibbons Mostly Harmless Reged: 05/26/05 Posts: 10388 Loc: Oort Cloud Re: Old Image From Days O' Film [Re: proud uncle]       #2581374 - 08/14/08 03:43 PM Attachment (13 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks, Kenneth. No eclipse involved. The image is a scan of a 5x7" color print. Any strange colorations are likely an artifact of the scanning or the original printing process. Here's another shot taken the same year, same equipment. -------------------- A few telescopes of dubious value. Understanding wife and three curious cats.

One more for fun. This was a couple of black and white prints, aligned and scanned. Slight tint added for effect. -------------------- A few telescopes of dubious value.
