RE: [APML] Kodachrome 200?

Hi Keith,

I used this film once last year when I was lower on my astrophotography learning curve. I liked the results that I got. 5 minute exposure of Orion Nebula was comparable to Elite Chrome 200, though probably slightly less sensitive to red if memory serves right. Grain wasn't too bad on pictures of Jupiter. Here is an example of two stacked Jupiter images: http://www1.iwvisp.com/opticman/astroimages/Jupiter.html. That's all the experience I have with it..I'm sure others have used it much more than I.

I haven't had the opportunity since then to use it, but I would like to. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Please post your results, I'll be interested in how it turns out.

-Jason

Subject: [APML] Kodachrome 200?

Hello all, could I pose a question?, I've just had a super weekend photographing regions of the Winter Milkyway, but I took a chance on using

a film called Kodachrome 200 colour slide film. I've never used this film before, and I was wondering have any of you used it. I've sent it away for processing today, but don't know what to expect. Anybody have any experience with this??

Thanks, Keith...
