Fujichrome Sensia 200 or 400?
      07/05/08 10:22 AM

Hi all!

Picked up the T-adapter for my Pentax K1000 this morning. I will give astrophotography a go on film. As I have so much to learn still I want to start fairly cheaply as to keep the cost down, I know I will waste some film.

Which of the 200 or 400ASA Fujichrome Sensia is prefered?

I will be using a Hartmann mask to start with for focusing and a Meade SN8.

Thanks and clear skies (I don't have any at the moment!)
Charles
