Gorgeous images! Provia 100F is a very nice film for this type of
astrophotography from the looks of things. I used Fuji 400 print for
my attempts that night, varying the exposures between 5 seconds and
20 seconds. The apertures I was using ranged from 2.8 to 3.5. After
seeing your results I hope my exposures were long enough. When I get
mine processed I'll scan them in and post them, if they are worth
looking at.
