Astrophotography from a tripod

Constellation Auriga

Lens: f=50 mm f/1,7

The open star clusters M36 and M38 are barely visible.

Date: unknown

Lens: f=50 mm f/1,7

Exposure time: 25 seconds

Film: Revuechrome 400



The comparison of these two pictures shows clearly the higher recording power of the faster film. M36 and M38 can be barely seen on an original print but couldn't be reproduced on the scanned print.
