I was digging around in a 2nd hand bookstore today, and came upon an old astrophotography text. The author was very pleased with his 6" reflector on an alt az mount/wedge, with film camera of course.... |
Hey Rob, ................I've still got some of those vintage books and marvel at what was being done in astrophotography, spectroscopy and solar viewing in those days.
I remember once seeing a book in our state reference library with heaps of photos of advanced film astrophotography set ups.
It was mind boggling!!!
Astro cameras made from Zeiss, Schneider lenses, Schmidt cameras..........you name it!............all piggy backed to the blazes on scopes of varying sizes and types.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh............the good ol' days...........
