This is the third and final image in the set of images taken this month on Konica Centuria Pro 400 negative film.
This time I exposed for only 45 minutes and at f/5.6 with the 75mm lens.
The Milky Way of Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and northern Cygnus is captured here. You can see Messier 31 on the far left edge of this frame.

Have you noticed that you've just begun to record the *very* faint nebula (I believe it's called Sh2-126?) in the bottom center? It's centered on--and illuminated by--10 lacertae, and is about twice the angular size of the N. America neb. This is a most overlooked object in the world of amateur imaging; you should try for a 'close-up'!

Thanks guys! It was fortunate for me to discover this stash of Centuria film. I have 10 rolls left in the freezer and will enjoy the rest of it as times allows. This film offers very sharp images and tiny stars, but is on the grainy side, but if exposed properly it is not a problem.
Sharpless 2-126 will be a challenge. I think my 300mm lens will require at least 60 minutes to get a good image. I love large faint nebulae. I'm looking at imaging Simeis 147 in Auriga / Taurus this weekend.
Thanks again.
