Re: [APML] Takahashi First Photo

[Dean Jacobsen <deanjacobsen@earthlink.net>]

Jim, thats a nice shot.  With the f/3.3 you will be able to get away with 
MUCH less exposure time than the 45 minutes that you used on this shot.  I 
have found that 30-40 minutes with Kodak E200 works great.  You might want 
to try some shots at 20 to 30 minutes or less with the hypered PJ 
400.  Thats the nice thing about a f/3.3 scope.  I have never regretted the 
purchase of my Epsilon 160.  I am saving for an Epsilon 250 for use with 
medium format.

Best Regards,
