Description

I inherited a Rolleiflex TLR last year and just a couple weeks ago, I had the chance to get out and point it skyward atop my telescope. I got 4 adequate shots (this being one of them). The constellation Cygnus is toward the top showing the North American Nebula (among others), the bright star on the right is Vega in the constellation Lyra. This shot was roughly 20 minutes on Kodak E200 slide film (120 format). Thanks for looking :)

I'm really envious of people who don't live in New Jersey and can still see the Milky Way at night. +5

Wonderful analog shot,perfect saturated and guided we can see many details,from the NGC 7000 nebula to gamma cygni nebula tote veil nebula too. I always loved the kodak E200 slide film,in astrophotography it is really great,great response in the red part of the light spectrum. Great job!

Thanks for all the positive comments :) Matt - this shot was cropped.... the FOV was so wide, it caught the end of the scope and it (along with Altair) got cropped. Proximo - You're right - the E200 has a fantastic red response. Hard to find films that can do that anymore. Words from you are truly high praise. You yourself take some truly beautiful shots.
