Re: [APML] Comet Hoenig and the Veil - 400F

Hi Chris,

Pretty neat comet trail <g>!

Good to see you and others working with 400F nowadays. It certainly has it's
place in astrophotography. It's proven itself for galaxies and comets with
it's strong blue response, and as your Veil shot shows, it's not too bad in
the red either. Currently Provia 400 and 100F are about all I shoot with the
12" SCT, but I'll probably avoid pushing it for now. And it will probably be
the film of choice for my TV85 once my supply of RG200 runs out ;o(
