Re: [APML] Star trail and piggyback film choice question

["Eric Z. Beard" <ericzbeard@yahoo.com>]

I just brought this film up in an unrelated post, but I'd never considered it
for astro work before: Agfa Ultra 100.  Now I'm wondering if anyone has looked
at the data sheets for it.  It's the most colorful, least grainy print film
I've ever used for daylight work.  Much, much better than Portra UC if you're
not worried about "realistic" colors (as in Velvia 50 slide film).

Enlarging to 8x12" shows not even a hint of grain.  Problem is, I've had zero
luck scanning the negatives.
