You're pretty much right Rick, long nights of manual guiding, and no idea what you had got until much later. I did enjoy using hypered 2415 though.
I have much more admiration and respect for the dedication and ability
of top film imagers. One truly wonderful film image of M31 by Tony and Daphne Hallas has me in awe.
There are still a couple of films available Rick, and yes, easier to get passable digital image, which in
turn encourages more people to persevere.
Sorry, hi-jacking again.
