Re: [APML] Ho Hum but where to from here.

Hey Bruce,

You're off to good start. Your focus and guiding look pretty decent.
What I'd suggest now are longer exposure times and a different film, or
two. Fuji Super HQ200 is working fairly well for me, and is readily
available just about anywhere. Kodak E200 slide film may work for you.
Konica VX400 may be worth a try. I have another roll I'll run through
the camera eventually. I currently have in the camera a roll of Provia
400F Wei-Hao Wang was kind enough to send me. Matter of fact, I just
started the first exposure on that roll about 45 minutes ago.

Don't be afraid to try different films. Keep a log of conditions,
exposure times, etc.. so you can make comparisons. Remember; film is
cheap, take advantage of that.
