Royal Supra is a combination of two older good astro films; Supra 400
and Royal Gold 400. About a year ago Kodak screwed us and took both
films off the market and replaced them with Royal Supra. Tests at that
time indicated that it wasn't any good for our use. Further research
might prove otherwise, or that it might be good for galaxies but not
emission nebula.

I did see someone selling some Supra 400 on astromart a couple days
ago. Expiration date of 7/2004, which is the good old stuff. 

If you get good results with Royal Supra please let us know.

Alan
