Re: Thoughts on wide-field film astrophotography

There is a nostalgia element to all this. I remember taking my first astrophoto as a teen and anticipating the results. It was a piggybacked mounted Pentax Spotmatic II with a 50mm lens (yes I still use it). The film was Ektachrome 100, a prefered film at the time. I captured the North America Nebula and I was hooked! I'm very happy to continue in that tradition. There is a continuity for me in persisting with film. The fact that it captures the cosmos the way I like is icing on the cake.
