The dark cloud above the image center was faintly visible by eye during the exposure. Pentax 6x7, Takumar 200mm, f/5.6, 50 min, Kodak E200, push 1, guiding by Meade LPI cam.

Great work Michal. Your producing top level work here. Keep at it! Oh, and make sure to enter one of these images in the contest. A great representation of film astrophotography.

But I love those faint nebulae with clusters of stars all about. That Takumar lens is not far behind the SMC version from what I see for sharpness. But star colours are wonderful with the Tak. Great stuff Michal.

There is still a lot of room for improvement - in estimating the exposure lenght, polar alignment, shooting under darker skies, getting a vacuum back, SMC and EDIF lenses, Pentax SDUF II, reserve of frozen E200 ... I will work on that gradually. Nightfly, I'm worried the images violate the rule 4) of the contest - they are not present enough. I took my latest photos in September last year. There are clouds since that time. Furthermore, my guiding notebook died and I can't guide manually with my current setup. I hope it will get all right before that the comet Panstarrs appears next month. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
