Description

I am going to show my great age by posting this image. I did film astrophotography and then began doing digital after taking a break. This image is from early 1997 probably mid March.

Minolta SRT 201 Camera

My guess is a 135 mm lens at F2.8 or F3.5

1 minute exposure

1600 ASA (ISO) Fuji Color Film with standard processing (no push)

Homemade spring clock movement tracker

Taken off a dirt road near Amboy, California

Description: Can not make the film image any different but I cleaned up the spots and dust and other bad stuff from scanning the old photo.
