Re: [APML] Film and Wal-mart!

Hi Tim:
What sorts of exposures ( f stop and duration) did you use for these shots
on ISO 400 film? Did you use several minutes exposure? You can look up
reasonable exposures for astro objects on several websites, eg, Table 10-2
in my article at:
http://www.astronomy-images.com/Articles/Astrophotography_for_beginners.htm
or use Michael Covington's applet, at
http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/astro/astrosoft.html
Hope this helps,
Bert

I'll have to order some...because I can't buy that here either!!
