Re: [APML] new BRC shot

Bobby,

I bet the hypered LE400 is contributing quite a lot of the blue you have.
You made an interesting choice of films.  The E200 is great for the reds,
and the hypered LE400 accentuates the blue.  Combining them in the right way
would get the best of both.  I had not thought of combining films to
compensate for other films shortcomings.  I have combined pictures generally
taken with the same film to control grain and enhance contrast.

The choice of films for astrophotos in the 120 roll size is remarkable
sparse. Mosaics with 35mm or CCD's are the only alternative.
