Re: [APML]: Agfa 50 for Astrophotography

Chris,
       Did you examine the negative?  Some times I have found that the print
may not reflect everything available on the negative.  I have had very good
prints originally, and then the re-prints are not as good as the original.

<< I had Agfa Ultra 50 speed film in my Mamyia (for daylight shots)  and
 decided to use up the roll and take some piggyback shots this weekend.  I
 used the standard 80mm f/2.8 lens.  I knew that with 50 speed film exposures
 would need to be quite long, even at f/2.8 so I shot wide open for up to 30
 minutes. 
 
 Well I got the film back last night and was very disappointed though not
 really shocked by the results.   All the shots where severely underexposed.
