RE: [APML] A couple of E200 piggyback shots

["Lane, Jason R" <jason.lane@navy.mil>]

Hi Andy,

Those look really good.  I don't know if you like the OTA being seen or not.  When I first bought my piggyback mount and stuck it on my LX90, I saw that the OTA would be in the pic.  So I bolted the camera mount to the front of the OTA.  I don't know if you could do the same on your C14, but you could also look at getting a tripod camera head (like a Bogen micro head or something) to get the OTA out of the camera FOV...if you don't care for it that is.

Cheers!
Jason

In the spirit of "keep on posting," here are a couple of mine from last
month. I shot these with a Pentax 6x7 piggybacked on my C14 CGE. I'm just
beginning, so these shots aren't as spectacular as most I see on this forum,
but it's fun learning! They were shot on E200 pushed 1 stop (by Penn Camera
here in DC), and scanned by Tony Hallas over on the other coast. A small
amount of processing was done in Photoshop.

Clear skies!
Andy

Hmm. I guess you're right. I automatically figured my shots were mediocre at
best and until relatively recently there were enough of that class out there
that no one needed to see mine, too. Now there's hardly anything to be seen
in deep sky with film so I'll try to find the time to get these out there.
Time is tough for me, though. I mentioned that I had film ready to be picked
up this past Monday. Well it's still there. I hope to pick it up on
Saturday. Processing takes time (at least it does for me) so it'll be a
couple of weeks, anyway. Stay tuned.

Greg

The last week or so I seen a bunch of "film" shots scanned and posted,
Here or in a Binaries group. I've been doing the Film thing for about a year
and until very recently I had virtually nothing to compare my "film" shot's
to what's possible with film. So if you still do Film, Please Post!, or as
Alan said, " when you have something, ya gotta give."
