Re: [APML] Planets - on a different time scale

Hi Chris:
Yes, an aurora behind these western planets would really be icing on the
cake, wouldn't it? The pink-magenta cast of the Centuria is really strong
with this 3 hour exposure. I've used it out to 1 hour without notable color
distortion, but 3 hours is just too much, I guess. When Terry Dickinson
recommended this film, I don't think he had tested it out that long.
