Re: [APML] Film Choice

That's what I'd use. Your exposure times should be about right for a dark
site and you might push that f/5 to 45-60 min at altitude if you are
exceptionally dark. Buy 45 min would be the target time unless you are
shooting something really dim.

> I plan on doing some imaging from a dark site at about 8000 feet this
summer and would like to confirm my choice of film.  I'm not going to get a
second chance so I'd like to do it right.  I'll be using a Tak FSQ 106
and/or a Tak Sky 90, both around 500mm fl at ~f/5.  I also might take some
shots with a 50mm f/1.4 lens.  The exposures will be guided and will mostly
be the southern Milky Way regions.  I figure on 30 - 45 minute exposures.

I be wrong?
