[APML] September's Work, M8-M20 and Wide Field



Here are some FILM shots I got this September's new moon.  Taken from the
Orange County Astro Club site near Anza, CA.  Equipment is a TMB Optical
152mm f/7.9, field flattner, Pentax 67-II into PPF-400, AP-900 mount, hand
guided for 50 minutes.  The photos look a bit read, but that is the way the
sky looked.

The wide field shot was taken with a Nikon FE, attached to the bottom of
the AP's CW shaft.  I used Kodak E100VS and the Baader 48mm
moon / LP filter, which seemed to work very well.
