[APML] Introduction & Film Question



Hello,

 

I am new to the group. So far I really enjoy what I see and reading the many of the previous posts.

 

I have a Celestron C5+ scope that I’ve owned since 1999. However, it has been in storage until recently for almost 4 years. I’ve messed with astrophotography and really enjoyed it. I have a Pentax ME Super and a Canon FTb. I do mostly piggy back and occasionally prime focus.

 

After taking the scope out of storage and attending a star party a couple weeks ago, I’m back into enjoying this hobby again.

 

Since 1999 the types of color negative films have changed. Can anyone please bring me up to date on current films that may be purchased at a Wal-Mart or drug store.

 

Also, I have never used slide film. But that seems to be the preferred method. I have an Epson 1650 scanner. Can I simply scan slides on this Epson and create JPEGs?

 

Any suggestions would be helpful. Getting ready for the weekend.

 

Thank you

 

Dave Keeley
