Star trails were very nice with film.

Three images with a 4" F 5.6 achro refractor. Actually it was a "telephoto" lens but same thing. All taken on the 28th July 2000. Some of my last film pics before I went to video.

M7, 15 minutes on Fuji 800. Still in Scorpius IC4628 Prawn nebula, 20 minutes Fuji 800. NGC3532 10 minutes Fuji 800. For some reason film was more tolerant of achro refractors. I got a shock when I went digital with the amount of CA that digital shows with an achro.
