Does anyone use slide film for their astrophotography? I am having lots of trouble finding anywhere that is able to transfer my images to cd. For example I took a bunch of images of the lunar eclipse and looking at them through a slide projector they look great, lots of detail and perfect exposure. But then when I get them put onto cd they look burnt put with no clarity what so ever. I have tried visiongraphics and a place called trannys, both in sydney but it seems they are stumped with my lunar images. Is it a case of there equipment not being able to cope with the image content? Or is there a trick to it they may not know about? Is there a business that specialises in developing 35mm slide film astrophotography??

As you can see in this picture the moon looks overexposed and the picture itself looks very very poor quality. Although the slide looks perfect when viewed through a projector.
