RE: [APML] Konica Centuria super 400

	Let's hope so Chris. There is such a huge difference between the 2
images that it looked hopeless to me. You are right though, they were taken
in different environments and processed 8 years apart! Fingers crossed - I
haven't found a CCD I can warp to a convex curve to put into a Schmidt yet.
Thanks for going through the effort of testing it out!

John,  lets see what I get tonight on this stuff, any film is going to be a
tough challenge to Supra 400.  Compare your shot to mine:

Is this a matter of processing or film?  As Dominic has pointed out, the
Konica has a very interesting spectral curve, with a peak in the red at
exactly 650, very close to Ha.  Since I have absolutely no light pollution
at my site here, I think it may be a good base line for others to compare
to.  Lets hope we have a new film for reds!
