I placed 4 of my pictures on my site because the gallery of spacew.com is "tilted", they will be there later but I give you the scoop here before ;)
The milky way at 16mm in the blackest site (direction south) that I
knows to date, at St.-Camille (130km to the Southeast of Quebec, close to the US border)( 16mm @ f4 , 15 min , kodak supra 400 )
http://astrosurf.com/aurores/voielactee_190504.jpg A litle aurora that appeared before raising of the day at St.-Camille (28mm @ f 2.8, 20 sec, kodak supra 400)

http://astrosurf.com/aurores/reflectionVenus_040507.jpg btw : Chris , I know that fuji is a "yucky" film for astrophoto , but it will stay my favorite for the northern lights ! My last attempt ( may 16 , 2004 ) with the fuji superia 800 on the summer triangle show NGC-7000 nebula red !!! I'll have to try it again on others nebula to see if this film is good again for astrophoto :) I too will try the Konica centuria , I just hope the grain will be good with this film !
Clear skies !
Dom :)
