Re: [APML] Summer Milky Way from the Catskills (medium format)

Super shot Taras! Love to see a big camera do astrophotography. One note
your film page shows M51 when it should be labeled M57. Keep shooting with
the Hassy and sharing your shots. You and I have almost the same set-ups, I
too use the LX-200 8" f/6.3, and have the ETX-90.
Sincerely,
