Hi list,

While the film Fugi SHQ 100 has come up in this thread, does anyone have any
hypering data to share about it ? I agree this could be an outstanding astro
film with very nice star colors and good blue response and low grain, but un
hypered I noticed the film seems to quit recording after about 45 minutes.
Last year, I ran some test exposures on both M31 and M45 and noticed no
difference in what the film recorded at 45 , 60, and 70 minutes. These were
done with an 8" F3.5 newtonian. I'd like to hyper some to try again, but
have no idea where start as far as times, etc...
So far I like what I have seen with the film in the limited shots I have
used it for, but havent tried any on emmision nebula yet.
Thanks in advance for any input !
