Scott, Bobby;
Your film was
purged three times, brought up to temp and purged again for the bake time.
You 'did' hook up your dry air lines before you turned on the air pump didn't
you? :)
If I remember
the night correctly it was an average humidity night for down here. The
roll I hypered for myself at the same time was okay. My roll was the newer
RG200, remember we marked it.
Were the light
leaks throughout the roll or just the exposed frames? I remember one
super bright light being shined on your camera while you visited our state of
the art restrooms. I didn't have any light leaks. You might want to
consider a shade for the viewfinder...joe :)

Hi Scott.
I downloaded your M45 unprocessed file and played
with it a bit. I did some anti-vignetting and tried some color balancing with
levels and curves. What I ended up with wasn't all that far from what you got
except perhaps a bit lighter on the background. One thing I did notice was
some "funny" color on the background; some I'm not used to seeing. Sort of red
and I had to add blue to balance it but I'm like you, I couldn't get a result
I was happy with. I have not worked much with RG200 and it may be that I just
don't have a good handle on how to do the basic adjustments for it. Did you
purge with N2? How damp was your night? I've found that for hypered LE400
it certainly helps on the color balance to N2 purge on all but the driest
nights. This could be a problem and it might be that hypered RG200 might
react in a similar fashion.

The link now has
both the unprocessed and processed version. Larger and less
compressed.

Do you have a larger, unprocessed file
to look at?

This was taken 2
weeks ago during the new moon. I can’t seem to get the background color
right with out loosing a lot of the nebulosity and severely clipping the
histogram. I wish I had exposed longer, but this was the first actual shot
taken with the NP101 and I wasn’t sure how long I could expose. Any
suggestions?
