Ahhhh - a Minolta SRT 101 - that's what I first used for Astrophotography when I first had a go at high school. Great manual camera with mirror lock-up. Dad had an F1.2 50mm and an F2.8 200mm that I thought had great potential for astrophotography. Only ever got one decent piggybacked photo during my career as a film based astrophotographer, then University intervened. I'll see if I can track it down - had it scanned by the fellow who photographed our wedding - had some flash Kodak negative scanner that he bought during the crossover period between film and digital.
Re the amp glow - have you tried any dark frames. My Nikon DSLRs give similar amp glow, but a dark frame takes care of that. I am using internal batteries, so maybe an external power supply might help me too.
Cheers
