Re: [APML] First Schmidt Shot



 
Thanks Robert and John

I fixed the f-stop misprint Thanks, I think the 5.5 was 1.65?

 

That is true.

 

I am waiting for a new Telrad, So far I have been centering with the 80mm guide scope and I can’t find crap with it.

 

I rest my case about using setting circles!

 

I didn’t make anything to hold the canisters back and they got in the way that is why I cropped the image.

 

It does not take much to keep them out of the way.  This eveing I'll update the Schmidt guide to show how Keith Shank keeps his film cassettes out of the image.

 

Next time I will clean the neg. up better before I scan. It was really windy Friday and the temp dropped to 32 F. Usually it’s in the 60’s this time of year, Weird weather this year.

 

Better than the rain I have here <g>

 

Any suggestions on color film for the Schmidt?

 

Go with E200!

 

With very dark skies how long do you think I could go with TP, I didn’t use any filter and the neg. wasn’t very dark. It looked to me I was only about ½ way to the sky fog.

 

By was the negative dark, I meant the how dark was the unexposed portions of the hypered film.  If they were not about one f/stop in darkness, (measure with a light meter) then you can extend your developing to 11 minutes.

 

Did you use a #92 filter with this shot?
