RE: [APML] Lunar Eclipse from Payson Arizona

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@zoominternet.net>]

Hello Chris,
Yes, it is nice to have both mediums available.  I wanted to get image scale
and I just couldn't get the full moon  with 35mm on my 130EDT with a barlow
and did not want extended exposure times at f16.  I just did not think I
could get the resolution at f8 with Provia 400 or E200, perhaps I could
have.  I have enlarged the CCD image to 18"x13" and it looks like it will
print fine at that size.  I am going for one of those "Fred Espenak"
sequence shots in November...weather permitting.

Jeff, I didnt try with my CCD since the field was just barely smaller than
the moon, and I wasnt sure about trying an RGB on the moon.  Anyway, film
make such nice huge enlargements!
