Re: [APML]: "AstroPhoto" program?

Another option to the software you are looking for would be a book I have
found called "Astrophotography" by Barry Gordon. 
He has created a very unique method of assigning what he calls an "fx value"
to all deep sky and planetary objects. Based on each object's FX value, he
has created a chart that quickly and accurately figures the time of exposure
needed. It will take into account your film speed, f ratio, and filters if
applicable. I have found this book absolutely indespensible.
It sells for $19.95 and its available from Wilman-Bell, Inc. (804-320-7016)
 give it a try.
