Re: [APML] E200 [was: Help: currently preferred films for presentation]



Matt,
 
     My experience pushing thousands of rolls of films is that it opens up the shadows... within reason. A one stop push is very beneficial for astro work and it will definitely help you capture the faint nebulosity if you did not expose quite long enough. Notice I said "quite" because obviously it's no solution to film that simply wasn't given enough exposure... but film that is "on the edge" of being properly exposed will benefit from pushing. It can significantly increase your through put by cutting back on exposure time ... and as long as you confine yourself to a one stop push there isn't much grain increase, either. The only thing about all this is you have to be very accurate in your exposures... strongly recommend testing before going to a dark site.
