RE: [APML] Test on Polaroid HD +

Egad!  Where did the reds go?  I hope the Polaroid 400 I got at Walmart isn't the same film.  the spectral curves are peaking in Ha. 
 
By the way, what time is the end of twilight for you up there this time of year? its dark here in AZ about 9:15 or so.

Subject: [APML] Test on Polaroid HD +

Hi all !
 
Yesterday , I went under a very dark sky at St-Camille and I used the film Polaroid High Definition Plus and I'm very disappointed of the results :( The film is nearly blind in red nebula and the stars are orange ! At least it can be good for landscape photo with a planetary conjunction because I shoot noctilucent clouds with this film and the result are very close to what I saw visualy :)
 
here's the images to convince you to not buy this film ;)
 
btw: don't look at my polar alignment , I'm very embarassed ;)
 
the first with a 50mm @ f 2 , 15 minutes on the sagitarius region

the second on the milkyway with a 16mm @ f 3.5 , 20 minutes

and the last one where I'm glad of the results , it's on the noctilucent clouds at 3:15 am local time. It was very beautiful to see this phenomenon. My first time and I hope to see other NC soon !!!

I hope you'll be convinced ;)
 
Clear skies !
