Description

I've been meaning to do some film astrophotography after completely botching my first attempt (shot a handful of shots only to then realize I was stopped down to f/16...). I recently picked up a telephoto for my medium format camera, and it aligned pretty well with a clear, moonless night! Unfortunately it was pretty windy all night, all 2.5 hours of it. Luckily, this shot seemed to fair much better than my other and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I was blown away by how different film astro was. Usually film photography is a much slower process than digital - but for astro since there is no feedback and much fewer controls, you just hit the shutter and wait!
