[APML] Film types for Lunar photography



Hello everyone, Im new here.
 
I just started into astrophotography about 6 months ago, and where I live (Whistler in western Canada) the conditions are not so good for astronomy, very humid and the jet stream is usually directly above me.  So the other week I decided to make a field trip (My 1st one - ugg 8hr drive) to Table Mountain in central  WA to take some images of the Saturn - Moon occultation.
 
I used e200, as it is the only film I have a good amount of experience with (I didn't want to screw around with something new).
But negative film is said to have a better bright/dark (is this referred to as fidelity?) range as I understand it. So I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good film for lunar imaging.
 
 
Here is a link to the images, keep in mind they are greatly reduced in size and resolution.
 
Comments are welcome.
 
As far as this Anacortes thing goes, I have bought *lots* of stuff from them and never had a problem. They are friendly and try and go the extra mile as far as I can tell.
