Old fashioned deep sky photography

Hey guys,
Had a bit of a look through the deep sky imaging forum, couldn't help but notice how unrepresented imaging the old fashioned way appears to be, you know what I mean, hand guided on film.

Now dont go burning me at the stake, but all of my deep sky imaging over the years has been with a 50 year old Nicomat manual 35mm camera.

This camera is so heavy that if it were to drop on your foot it would brake bone.

These are some of my galaxy images that I did for a galaxy morphology project at Uni.

These are all hand guided 20 min exposures on Fujipress 800.
M 83,NGC 253, NGC 1291, NGC 1365 and NGC 4945. Taken at the prime focus of my 16" F4.5 Newt

Regards
Trevor
