[APML] Orion's Sword on 400F

Here's a shot of Orion's Sword on Provia 400F. I think this shot shows the following:
* Some lack of red sensitivity (but the sky's poor transparency might also have been a significant factor).
* Because it's a slide film, the stars burn out easily.
* The graininess is pretty good for a 400 speed film, but not quite as fine as E200's.

These are consistent with John's Boudreau's findings. Based on these findings, I am still looking for an excellent 120 astro film.

BTW there are anti-vignetting artifacts in this image, a consequence of PS's lack of 16-bit layers.

Comments welcome.
