[APML] Autumn Bonanza

["Takoyaki" <nmontec@libero.it>]

Dear All,

at last, I succeeded to pass all night long out to shoot at some objects
with my wide field tools.
I basically used my 200mm telephoto lens and I used the Fuji Provia 400F.
Almost all pictures came out good but I have some lessons learnt:

1) In a couple of pictures I misaligned the camera with the scope, and it
happened that I missed the object I wanted to shoot.
2) Fuji Provia 400F, as far as I can see, it is not very good at nebulas as
E200 is. I took a shot of Orion and where in more or less the same
conditions with the E200 I could see the Barnard Loop, with Provia I don't
see anything.
3) Fuji Provia seems very good at galaxies: I recorded M31 and M33 (for the
first time) and it seems I got a fair amount of details considering the
telephoto lens I was using.

As soon as I scan and process the images I'll put them on my web site.

I'd like you to share with me your opinions about points 2 and 3. :-)
Especially because on the mailing list some of you is actually using Provia
400F for nebulas so it means that perhaps there are different Provias
around....

Regards,
Nicola
