Hey Brian...
Nice, deep, classic 'piggy-back' effort. M 42 seems a little burned out, but the diffuser way have contributed to this. The dynamic range of this area of the night sky is a challenge for film. Here's a single exposure of the region with more focal length (135mm) and a Median Filter blur similar to the process you described in your previous post. For a larger version, go here:

... let me know when you add some others here at usefilm.com !!!

Taras...
Lotsa problems with this one... under-exposed is the biggest problem. Ineffective focal length... wider field of view with some foreground would have yielded a better image. Focus seems soft... or you had some kind of vibration issue... or both. Image is *way* off center. My skies were clouded during this most recent Lunar Eclipse... but compare to my shot from the Jan. 2000 event. Keep shootin'... experience is the best teacher !!!

Thanks all for the nice words and great rating! Taras... the procedure outlined above is the *only* way to achieve a double exposure with these camera bodies. As such... the precision of the alignment of the second exposure leaves much to be desired... you can't excercise complete control of the framing for the latter exposure. Combine this with the extended focal lengths being used... especially the 1000mm FL of the lunar shot, it's hit or miss - pure and simple.
Personally, the ghosting of the spire is what I *like* about this shot... when one takes the artistic approach over the analytical, there can be no mistakes... only happy accidents !!!

(Hee-Hee)... LOL... I didn't want to write it, either! The subject is Alternative Process... and since inquiring minds (may) want to know... I felt I should let the cat out of the bag on this one! HeH... if astro stuff was easy... everyone would do it! Thanks for the ratings!

I love the twilight stuff... color saturation here was pushed *almost* to the breaking point... but it (barely) maintains... good job.
