Hi Don:
As you suspected, my shot was made with unhypered
film. I'm sure that with hypering I would have gotten more extended nebulosity.
I suspect that this film is not worth a lot more work. I'm still intrigued by
Konica Centuria 800, but I've only used it for one target (M31) so
far. Overall, I've had the most consistent results with E200, Supra 400,
and LE 400, all unhypered. Haven't had time to give RG 200 (or any others) a
fair trial.

Thanks Bert,
I know that each color film and film manufacturer
uses a mask which requires the scanner to compensate. Your scans show
that the Agfa Optima film gets a picture of M8, at least when processed in
Photoshop.
I didn't see whether you used hypered film or
not. I'm curious, because I shot M8 three years ago with hypered Royal
Gold 400 at f/9 for 30 minutes and got much more extended nebulosity (on drug
store prints) than I see in your 40 minute at f/6. It may be that the
Agfa isn't a great film for astrophotos.
