Re: [APML] Lunar Eclipse

Hi Joe,

I tried some of the 800 Versatility Plus also and found it came out with a strong blue cast but it did seem to get some pink, though not like EC200.

     When I bought Kodak Professiona Ultra Color 400 I also bought a couple
rolls of Kodak Versatality 800 because of its "Low Light" designator. I
shot the Pelican, N.American, Flaming Star and Rosette nebulea all at 90mins
each. Nothing on the Versatality 800 came out good with one exception.

     All objects photographed came out a very light pink, almost grey,
hardly any red at all. The Flaming neb star was almost totally absent of
pink but the blue reflection portion surprizingly came through quite well.
