Trial and error works. :^) I had been making exposures ranging from 5 - 20 seconds with 400 speed film and F2.8 lenses and not getting enough light. Lately I've been doing 30s. The film is still in the freezer so I don't know how successful these latest attempts have been. I'm afraid to go much longer because the stars will start to look trailed. -- Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] �
